I got the Artec AS6e epp scanner driver to run under Wine. It scans in
color, gray, and line mode, and it can save the scanned image in tiff or
bmp format. It also has area selection and other stuff.

READ: maybe somebody with experience with wine can use wine to figure
out the protocol so that a native sane driver can be written

Here is how I did it:

Upgraded to the newset wine release: 980913 (980822 also works)

Made sure my .winerc file specified access to my parallel ports:

[ports]
read=0x779,0x379,0x280-0x2a0,0x278-0x27f,0x378-0x37f
write=0x779,0x379,0x280-0x2a0,0x278-0x27f,0x378-0x37f

Dowloaded the newest Win3.1 drivers for the AS6E. Make sure their the
newest. To be sure just download from
www.erols.com/mkatshym/as6e-31.exe

use wine to run the setup program and install the drivers. Run wine on
the executable.
