I have this device working in Ubuntu 10.04, two clicks reboot, working. But SuSE 11.3 will not install the RPM’s without faulting out saying can’t resolve dependancy’s, then refusing to install again saying there is already some TMP directory. Tried installing from Yast, but it claims the driver is already installed. Sain say no scanner detected. But the 11.3 scanner configuaton icon reports the scanner is there, but refuses to configure. No neer, yet so frustratingly far proceedure wise. What are the steps, 1,2,3… needed to move past this road block?
:’( Thanks!
Which RPMs are you trying to install? From which source?
Is it the scanner driver you’re having an issue with? Or the printer driver as well?
For the scanner, what is reported by these commands? (Try as user, and then as root if not detected).
scanimage -L
sane-find-scanner
The drivers are from this page: Linux Driver | AVASYS CORPORATION
I have tried the x64 RPM’s, none will load with out some error message.
Problem maybe there are two or three offerings, load order, donno.
The noarch seem’s to load but again, no scanner found with scanner program.
Try using the tar.gz file. You will need to download it, and extract it to read the README and INSTALL files contained there. You can create a suitable RPM (as outlined in the instrauctions) from the actual tarball itself with
rpmbuild -tb iscan_2.25.0-1.tar.gz
Note: You must be root, and supply the correct path to the tarball download location. You may get build dependencies like this
error: Failed build dependencies:
libxml2-devel is needed by iscan-2.25.0-1.i586
gtk2-devel is needed by iscan-2.25.0-1.i586
Someone can then guide you on the required packages (via yast package manager) to install. Post any other errors here as well.
If you get that far, we can try installing the RPM created.
Guys thanks but I really dont think this thing will work in SuSE?
Here is what I get either installing in Root, or anything else, it ask for things I cant get or install.

linux-xb6d:/home/clear/Downloads # rpmbuild -tb iscan_2.25.0-1.tar.gz
error: Failed build dependencies:
libtool-ltdl-devel is needed by iscan-2.25.0-1.ltdl7.x86_64
sane-backends-devel is needed by iscan-2.25.0-1.ltdl7.x86_64
All this from a fresh re install…
Hmmm, I found a similar thread here
where it is suggested that having libtools and sane-backends packages may be enough. Maybe try
rpmbuild -tb --nodeps iscan_2.25.0-1.tar.gz
Any errors reported?
BTW, I’m not sure why you got this output from rpm:
inux-xb6d:/home/clear/Downloads # rpm –ivh iscan-2.25.0-1.x86_64.rpm
RPM version 4.8.0

This occurs when a syntax error is made. However ‘rpm -ivh some package.rpm’ should be ok. You could try
rpm –ivh --nodeps iscan-2.25.0-1.x86_64.rpm
Check for typos first.
