    Ok, I try

    Now I'm scanning using the comments of this address :

    http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/usb_scanner.html

    In SuSE 6.4, the Epson 1240 works with a little of hacks, but in SuSE
    7.0, all is automatic, only modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8
    product=0x010b and OK. :-)

    Thanks, And yes this works perfectly.

    Carlos.
