Installation instructions for scanner EPSON Perfection V100 Photo

The scanner can be controlled either by iscan or by xsane, but in both cases the firmware files, the iscan plugin library, iscan-data, iscan and the sane configuration files (dll.conf and epkowa.conf) must be installed.

Note 1: The usbfs (/proc/bus/usb) filesystem is not necessary even if using

       libusb.

Note 2: It seems that the iscan-registry command must be executed even if

       using sane.

Note 3: The epkowa back-end comes from iscan (not from sane).

1. Download:

 iscan-plugin-gt-s600-2.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm

or

 iscan-plugin-gt-s600-2.1.2-1.x86_64.rpm

2. Extract content of RPM:

 rpm2cpio iscan-plugin-gt-s600-...rpm > iscan-plugin.cpio

3. Extract files from CPIO archive:

 mkdir iscan-plugin
 cd iscan-plugin
 cpio -ivd < ../iscan-plugin.cpio

4. Copy firmware files and plugin:

 cp -a usr/share/iscan /usr/share
 cp -a usr/lib/iscan   /usr/lib

5. Download and install " iscan-data_1.9.0-1.tar.gz"

 ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
 make &&
 make install

6. Download and install "iscan_2.26.4-2.tar.gz"

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var &&
 make &&
 make install

8. Create entry for scanner:

 iscan-registry --add interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012d \
   /usr/lib/iscan/libesint66 \
   /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin

This will create the file /var/lib/iscan/interpreter.

9. In "/etc/sane.d/dll.conf":

 epkowa

10. Create file "/etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf":

 usb

Note: when I put this line in epkowa.conf:

 usb 0x04b8 0x012d

it took 2 minutes for iscan to show the scan window!

11. Activate either xsane or iscan plugin (or both) for Gimp:

 ln -s /usr/bin/xsane /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
 ln -s /usr/bin/iscan /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins

Example to launch xsane abd display some traces: SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=CMD xsane

Example to specify the device directly: SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=CMD xsane epkowa:interpreter
