When I first got my Epson, sane did not have any drivers for it, so I
hadda use an old W98 box.  I finally found an
iscan-proprietary-drivers rpm pkg and got it working on my Slackware
box with xsane.  Perhaps they got that straightened out, now.  I
remember my printer used to be a pain, too, but now takes less
time/hassle to setup on a linux box than on a windows box.  Linux jes
keeps getting better.  ;)
