Hi,

I have two separate HD's with fedora23.

The original scanner works OK BUT I cannot remember how I installed the
driver(s) or what they were and I cannot seem to find any iscan stuff in
a repository.

Various front ends report no scanner found, but lsusb shows it connected:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04b8:0130 Seiko Epson Corp. GT-X770 [Perfection V500]

If I knew what it uses on the one that works then maybe I can manually
install them.

So, how do I find what driver are used to run the scanner?

lsmod does not show anything that resembles a "scan" but I assume it
must be listed!?

Regards

Removed "simplescan" "xsane" and checked sane is installed then did a
"sane-find-scanner" and it is found.

Installed xsane again, and it still is "not connected".

Some googling states it was a "group" problem and try running as root,
still the same.
Even though I installed the driver packagfe from the Epson site I think
it is not installed!

Hello Peter

I just installed iscan from this link

http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.html

and it seems to work OK for my XP850. The scanner works over USB and
network connections

Regards
Dave
