VueScan is an application that replaces the software that came with your scanner. VueScan is compatible with the Epson Perfection 4490 on Windows x86,.
Just wanted to share how I set the Epson Perfection 4490 Photo scanner in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 64-bit
Went to SANE: http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl
Searched for Epson 4490.
Gave me a link to an external backend: http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL1.do
Fill out the 'survey' at the bottom to get the proper drive page: http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL2.do
Downloaded the two deb files under 'DEB 64bit package [libltdl7] (for Ubuntu 8.10 or later)' namely:
iscan_2.24.0-4.ltdl7_amd64.deb
iscan-plugin-gt-x750_2.1.0-5_amd64.deb
(I actually downloaded all the files, I thought I would have to test each one.)
I installed the newest sane package
I also installed xsane (but haven't tested, I used iscan instead)
I installed the 2 DEBs
Plug-in the usb and turn on the scanner if you haven't.
I ran:
So, the scanner was detected. I ran 'iscan' but it gave me an error
'could not send command to scanner
So I ran:
The scanner made some noises. Once that once done, ran 'iscan' again. Window popped up and scanned a few images. Everything seems to work.
The START button also works, which is for quick scanning several documents, assigns numerical suffixes to the default name for every scan. (if you check the box that says enable Start button)
Finally, I powered off the scanner, unplugged the usb, then plugged it back in, turned on the scanner. Ran 'iscan' and it still works. Ubuntu rocks!
