Description Adrian Jadic 2006-02-20 02:24:16 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I am currently running SUSE-9.3 and Kooka works just fine with my EPSON 3170 PHOTO. I got used with Kooka as it is a very easy to use and pleasant interface.

I tried SUSE-10.0 and now I have 10.1 Beta3 installed in another partition. 10.0 could not configure the scanner properly but 10.1 seems to be able to do it using the iscan and the iscan-firmware packages (not iscan-free). 

Yast detects and configures the scanner properly. the scan test in Yast completes also successfully. Iscan works fine.

Unfortunately Kooka does not see the scanner. If I edit the /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf file and force the backend to recognise the scanner by imputing the scanner's data (0x04b8 0x0116), Kooka detects the scanner (little window at start) but pressing "Preview" or "Scan" results in no action.

I cannot understand why the same version of Kooka works just fine with the same scanner in SUSE-9.3 but is unusable in 10.x.
Hope sincerely there is a fix for this...

I also use Epson Perfection 3170 Photo. And neither under Suse 10.0 nor 10.1 I can use Kooka. It´s exactly my situation. I can scan with Gimp or Iscan but not with Kooka. But I would like to use Kooka.
