Buonasera a tutti, ho un vecchio scanner Epson Perfection 1670 che, nonostante gli anni e l’uso, non m’ha mai dato il minimo problema ma non riesco ad installarlo sulla mia F17; googlando qui e lì m’è parso di capire che il driver ci sia, in realtà, ma manchi il firmware: qualcuno mi potrebbe dire cosa fare, per favore?
Vi ringrazio anticipatamente. 
il @1670 e’ supportato da sane senza problemi, non cosi se e’ un photo. Ma lusb cosa dice?
?
pinco@pinco-laptop-lan:~$ lsusb | grep 1670
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04b8:011f Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 1670Non mi pare proprio sia un photo: sullo scanner c’è scritto “Epson Perfection 1670”
possiamo vedere da root:
[code]# scanimage -L
ed anche da utente:
$ scanimage -L
$ sane-find-scanner
Da root:

pinco@pinco-laptop-lan:~$scusa:
se usi Xsane dovresti proprio vederlo, lo vede sane…
è evidente dal tuo post 5 che ci sono problemi di permessi.
scanimage lo vede da root ma non da utente.
controlliano bene, installa:
# yum install xsane
lancialo sia da root che da utente:
xsanedacci conferma se lo vede da root ma non da utente.
Allora, ho avviato xsane con sudo e questo è stato l’output:
pinco@pinco-laptop-lan:~$ sudo xsane
No protocol specified
(xsane:10657): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :1.0
pinco@pinco-laptop-lan:~$ Ho poi provato ad avviarlo come utente normale e il programma è partito, ma quando sono andato ad avviare una scansione, m’è comparso un popup che diceva: “Error - Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument”
Che devo fare?
devi lanciarlo da root con:
[code]$ su -
password_di_root
Stesso messaggio di quando l’ho avviato da utente normale
molto bene.

commenta le righe così:

#epson2
riprova a lanciare xsane da root:
# xsanelo vede ?
Fatto: xsane sembrava ok perché è partito molto più rapidamente di ieri e m’ha dato sùbito la scelta tra l’acquisizione delle immagini dalla webcam e dallo scanner, ma quando ho selezionato quest’ultimo m’ha dato un popup di errore. Sono andato a guardare l’output del terminale dal quale avevo lanciato xsane e ho trovato questo:
[root@pinco-laptop-lan ~]# xsane
[snapscan] Cannot open firmware file /usr/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.bin.
[snapscan] Edit the firmware file entry in snapscan.conf.Quindi è un problema di firmware come avevo capito io?
dai il comando:
# yum install iscan-firmwarepoi riprova.
Installato iscan-firmware e riavviato xsane da root ma, selezionato lo scanner m’è apparso lo stesso errore di prima, la cui dicitura ora vi riporto parola per parola:
Error: Failed to open device `snapscan:libusb:005:002’: Invalid argument.
il 1670 deve essere riconosciuto in automatico senza pacchetti aggiuntivi, cosi come accade per il 1640 che uso con soddisfazione
Beato te, a me non sta andando… 
da root:
[code]$ su -
password_di_root
[/code]
cambia la linea ( la quarta )
firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.binin :
firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/ESFW30.BINsalva chiudi.
togli e rimetti la presa usb e riprova ad usare xsane sia da root che da utente.
Fatto tutto: xsane parte sempre rapidamente ma invece di un’unica finestra me ne dà 4 diverse (un po’ come Gimp) e quando clicco su “Scan” mi dà:
Error - Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument
Per completezza posto anche /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf :
#------------------------------ General -----------------------------------
# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if
# firmware upload is needed by the scanner
firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/ESFW30.BIN
