My old Epson 3170 Scanner finally died and I purchased an Epson Perfection V370 Photo Scanner. I got this working under
Mageia 2 by going to the Epson Site/Support/V370/Drivers and downloading the following files --
( Note there are 32 and 64bit versions for Mageia 2 download the one containg ltdl7 ).
iscan-2.29.1-5.usb0.1.ltdl7.x86_64.rpm
iscan-plugin-perfection-v370-1.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm
iscan-data-1.22.0-1.noarch.rpm
I then installed them in this order --
iscan-data-1.22.0-1.noarch.rpm, iscan-2.29.1-5.usb0.1.ltdl7.x86_64.rpm and iscan-plugin-perfection-v370-1.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm.
The Scanner worked o/k after a reboot.
