Socrates-and-An Easier OCR?

[Willem van der Walt]

Hi,
I had to change some things in /etc/sane*/somefile.conf, not epson, my 
epson uses another thing.
I also had to extract some firmware from the windows driver, but it was 
all documented in the sane manuals.
I did this so long ago that I am not exactly sure of what I had to do, but 
maybe it helps.
Try googling for your model scanner and sane.
HTH, Willem
