I was experiencing the 'Failed cupsGetDevices' error as explained in another thread, but followed the instructions in this post and haven't had any further issues of this type: … 5#p1157305 When the scanner was working, iscan-data was not necessary, nor is it necessary on the other computer. I've tried this process alternating installing iscan or iscan-data first, but that hasn't changed anything. I've even tried installing iscan-data thinking that perhaps that may be causing my issue.

Scans at lesser resolutions are fast enough. A resolution of up to 6400 dpi is claimed but not many users will test the claim because of the inordinate time it takes to scan and process at this resolution. The film is trans-illuminated from a light in the scanner lid. There is a carrier for medium-format 6圆 film. The device functions as a conventional flat-bed scanner with reflective objects and it also works as a film scanner, handling 35mm slides, and colour and black-and-white strips. It claims this is better for the environment, uses less energy and is more reliable. Epson says this scanner is the first to use 'a CCD (charge-coupled device) scanner using LED (light-emitting diode) technology'.
