Further to the thread re mysterious behaviour of 'sane-backends', |

I remembered what happened when I set my new scanner up earlier in 2017. |

There is no driver in 'sane-backends', because it contains a binary blob. |

You have to download an appropriate pkg for the V550 from Epson, |
| 6 |
which provides installers for Debian or RPM. |

Presumably one of those worked with Gentoo |
| 8 |
& that's where the 'epkowa' driver came from in /usr/lib64/sane/ . |

So relieved that I'd got it working, I failed to update my notes, |
| 11 |
which I've now done. Thanks for Neil's suggestions. |
