hello, i am new, so please be gentle!
I have been trying mageia 3 for about 2 weeks and i am slowly becoming familiar with it, and like it very much, however I have been trying to my printer/scanner, (Epson xp-205) and am finding great difficulty. I have trawled the web for answers but cannot find a definitive one.
From what I can see it is not supported by sane, so i have tried to download and install the drivers from epson web site and also iscan.
Whern I try to install iscan i get a message telling me i must un-install 'sane-backends-iscan' because of conflict with iscan-free, when i try to do this in Mageia control ctr. i get the error 'cant call method destroy on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.3/Rpmdrake/pkg.pm line 648.
I had also installed some sane packages earlier when trying to get the scanner to install.
The printer is an all in one and is connected by wifi, the printer is recognised and prints using cups, but the scanner refuses to be found.
When i do a search in hardware devices or when i searcg specifically for a scanner it is not there
Appreciate any help
