Scanner Epson DX4450 does not scan

English Hardware
1

Hi people,
my all-in-one Epson scanner does not work. I tried to install the iscan drivers (free and/or proprietary) via repository and/or via Avasys website, but nothing happens: the scanner is not recognized.
I use Gnome and openSUSE 11.2
Any hint?
Thanks in advance.

if you issue the following command

sane-find-scanner

and then the command

scanimage -L

tell us what you get

copy and paste the results back here: the EDIT menu on the top line of the terminal is helpful; well done to track down the Epson drivers from their website

Hi!
Here’s the output:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
