The supported devices link you provided is for
"sane-backends-1.0.16". I'm on 1.0.23, so I was believing the
following was true now.<br>

<b>supported by the epkowa backend plus non-free interpreter</b><b></b><br>
<br>
Hence my attempt with the epkowa backend.<br>
<br>
Part of my attempts to get this working were to install the Epson
iscan package. I assumed that was the non-free interpreter
mentioned above. The debug output I listed in the post I included
the link to was from running iscan. I was hoping that might give
someone on this mailing list an idea of what was wrong.<br>
<br>
I have seen posts on various boards that people have gotten this
scanner to work with SANE. And I am (or have tried) doing what they
mention they did. So far, the only difference in environments I can
figure out is that those folks are on 32 bit Linux and I'm running
64 bit. Not sure that is the problem though.<br>
<br>
Thanks Roger.<br>

Hi sane-devels,
I was hoping someone here could help out with my continuing issue of not
being able to use my Espon 4180 with SANE. The original issue with all
the details is here:

I hadn't gotten any replies so thought I would re-ask.
Thanks in advance.

Unsupported. Doesn't speak ESC/I. Closely related to the GT-9400. It will be
supported by epkowa backeend in future. unsupported

Have you tried the Linux IScan?
Post number #8 at the following thread describes the procedures.

(This is why I purchased a Canon CanoScan 9000F MarkII scanner, having native
Linux Sane support, including working support with the infrared scanning. No
funny closed source stuff, like iscan's proprietary stuff.)
