epson perfection VT10 under gentoo

Today I make my Epson scanner perfection VT10 running under gentoo.

What I did:

  1. Emerge the iscan packages:

    USE="X gimp jpeg png tiff -doc" emerge -av media-gfx/iscan
    emerge -av media-gfx/iscan-data
  2. Create a backup of the /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf and create a new one with only one line:

    mv /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf.org
    echo "epkowa" >> /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf
  3. Changing the /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf configuration to match the Perfection VT10.

    changing/uncomment in /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf following lines (nothing more!):

    usb
    usb 0x04b8 0x012d

  4. Now I need some binaries for the scanner and some libs. They can be downloaded here:

    http://linux.avasys.jp/drivers/iscan-plugins/iscan-plugin-gt-s600/2.1.2/iscan-plugin-gt-s600-2.1.2-1.i386.rpm

  5. I opened the archive and extracted the libs libesint66* to /usr/lib/iscan and also the /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin
  6. Now I need to register the libraries and scanner binary to iscan:

    iscan-registry --add interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012d /usr/lib/iscan/libesint66.so /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin
  7. The next step was to create a file called „interpreter“ in /usr/share/iscan-data/interpreter and adding the lib and binary:

    echo "interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012d /usr/lib/iscan/libesint66 /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin" >> /usr/share/iscan-data/interpreter

After that, I was able to start iscan, select the first entry from the founded scanners and start to scan :-)
