[sane-devel] Epson V600 Photo - error message

[George T Diller]

Thank you for your good will here with language problems in addition to 
program imponderables.

What leaves me perplexed: with the epkowa (free) 3 drivers, the V600 
photo scanner works perfectly under the VueScan (not-free) software, BUT 
under Linux-mint, the XSANE Scan program fails. Why?

Best,

George T. Diller
