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.

No problem
- just knew it because i've read about it recently on mageia-doc mailing list.
Also you wouldn't have found it via wiki search, as it's currently on a users "private" page.

There are several Epson scanners that do not work on Mageia. There are 2 ways around this. One is to adapt the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and the other is to substitute Mageia SANE software by the software from Epson and you have to choose either 32 or 64 bits. First you need to uninstall the sane-backends-iscan package then after that install the new package from Epson. Also learn about Epson printers here

Sorry about the delay in replying to you all. The machine crashed again, and I've spent the last four days in a rebuild. Thought I'd get back to this as a change from sorting things which no longer work. However. I went to the Epson site, and after a bit of work found the place where the rpm's are to be found. It's now a single package as a tar.gz file. I downloaded it to a temporary directory, unzipped it into an rpm file and installed it. And got the following error message.
[root@down iscantmp]# urpmi iscan-perfection-v370-bundle-1.0.0.x64.rpm
unable to register rpm file
error registering local packages
[root@down iscantmp]#
Using urpmi was a bit of a throwback. Until this install, it was sufficient to click on the rpm file and a box offered to install it, on tendering the root password. I'd been doing this so long that the command line entry had slipped my mind. In fact I'm not too sure that the entry is correct. Doing it the easy way for so long corrupts.

The "bundle", although it has the extension .rpm is not an rpm package. It is in fact a folder containing three packages (core, data and plugin) which need to be installed separately. An install script is provided which should install these packages in the correct order. After extracting the "bundle" .rpm from the tar file you should be able to open it as a folder where you'll find a README file, the install script and the three rpm packages in separate folders.

Thank, Jim. I'll give it a try. The machine knows more than me!

That seemed to go well. At least it came back to the prompt.
[root@down iscan-perfection-v370-bundle-1.0.0.x64.rpm]# ./install.sh
The following package has to be removed for others to be upgraded:
sane-backends-iscan-1.0.24-10.mga5.x86_64
(due to conflicts with iscan-data-1.36.0-1.noarch)

Well. It does seem to work, on a quick check. Natively there are three options for scanning. Simple Scan, Acquire Images, and iscan. The first two worked fine, but iscan insisted that there was not enough disk space for operation. A quick check (df) showed that currently I had 665GB, of disk space! Even at 50dpi, I hadn't enough to satisfy iscan. However, with the G. imp plugin installed, Gimp seemed quite happy with using iscan to acquire a reasonable image at 300dpi (default).
Thanks, Jim. I'll try it on something hard, in a bit. If all goes well, I'll close the thread
Cheers, Rod
