Ok, I have installed the packages from Epson (I installed the x64 versions specifically), but now I’m stumped. The Scanner installation tool still doesn’t detect it and the Help page says “Network scanners must be installed manually”.
How is this done?
I know nothing is perfect, but I confess that I am perplexed by all this messing about in a distro as otherwise polished as OpenSuse 12.3. My old Debian 6 rig had no problem detecting the same printer/scanner as both printer and as a scanner, and the device is still sitting there on the network unchanged. My new OpenSuse box has detected and installed the device as a printer, so why all this rigmarole I wonder to detect it as a scanner?
No matter, if someone can help me though ‘manually configuring’ my network scanner I’ll be grateful. Scanning is important in this establishment so I have to have it working.
TIA
