epson perfection VT10 under gentoo

Today I make my Epson scanner perfection VT10 running under gentoo.

What I did:

1. Emerge the iscan packages:
   
USE="X gimp jpeg png tiff -doc" emerge -av media-gfx/iscan
emerge -av media-gfx/iscan-data

2. Create a backup of the /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf and create a new one with only one line:
   
mv /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf.org
echo "epkowa" >> /etc/sane.dll/dll.conf

3. Changing the /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf configuration to match the Perfection VT10.

   changing/uncomment in /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf following lines (nothing more!):
   
usb
usb 0x04b8 0x012d


4. Now I need some binaries for the scanner and some libs. They can be downloaded here:

   http://linux.avasys.jp/drivers/iscan-plugins/iscan-plugin-gt-s600/2.1.2/iscan-plugin-gt-s600-2.1.2-1.i386.rpm

5. I opened the archive and extracted the libs libesint66* to /usr/lib/iscan and also the /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin
6. Now I need to register the libraries and scanner binary to iscan:
   
iscan-registry --add interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012d /usr/lib/iscan/libesint66.so /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin

7. The next step was to create a file called „interpreter“ in /usr/share/iscan-data/interpreter and adding the lib and binary:
   
echo "interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012d /usr/lib/iscan/libesint66 /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin" >> /usr/share/iscan-data/interpreter


After that, I was able to start iscan, select the first entry from the founded scanners and start to scan 🙂
