I've tried 3 methods without success : |
16 |
(1) install Iscan via Portage & copy the other files in the .deb ; |
17 |
(2) copy all the files in the .deb (apart from dox) (list checked) ; |
18 |
(3) try to run the install.sh script. |

None of them succeeds in getting the scanner recognised. |

There is a pkg media-gfx/iscan-plugin-gt-x820 for a V600 : |
23 |
I could take the V550 back & exchange it for a V600 |
24 |
& try to install Iscan + data + that plugin. |
25 |
|
26 |
Any suggestions are very welcome. |
