Very unlikely : I have an HP printer, which also copies & can scan, |
| 10 |
but it isn't supported by Sane-backends & would require much work. |

I plan to audit what I've installed carefully today |
| 13 |
& if I still can't get it to work on Gentoo, I'll file a bug : |
| 14 |
hopefully, whoever created the plugin for V600 can do another for V550. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Also, I'll put the Epson install script on my Internet site |
| 17 |
( http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/ ). |

I can't make sense of it, but perhaps someone here can tell me |
| 19 |
what it does with the .deb files when it installs them. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If it works on Mint, it sb possible to get it to work on Gentoo. |
| 22 |
Usually in such cases, the secret is finding 1 small item |
| 23 |
which needs to be fixed & then everything is ok : that's Gentoo's strength. |
