| Try grabbing the firmware binary from the windows drivers and have it

| You will have to check out some howtos to get it right.
| This is assuming it's a firmware loading problem like mine was.
|
| Find the conf file for your scanner and add something like
|
| # Path to the firmware file
| # This file comes with the Windows driver
| # The scanner won't work without it
| option artecFirmwareFile /usr/share/sane/artec_eplus48u/Artec48.usb

Thanks very much -- I'll do this if I can't get the native software to=20
work. What puzzles me about it is that the Epson-provided Linux IScan=20
application has always worked reliably here, and only now when I invoke it=
=20
does it explode.

Check to see
if you're using 32bit on a 64 or vice versa.
Also, try doing a complete uninstall of all related drivers etc.
Clear you're using dir of any configs etc.
Then reinstall.
Good luck lad,
Kate
