Hi, Karl
I'm testing using Mandrake 8.0 - libsane-epson.so.1.0.4
original library is of 76952 bytes 4 gen 2001
so is not updated
I downloaded libsane-epson.so.1.0.4.tar.gz
But how to build updated library ?
Can you send me instructions to compile or a binary version ( 586, 686 ) ?
I found a binary version of 82722 bytes ( some week ago and I forgot from
where )
but no solution
always : PREMATURE AND OF FILE
Best regards
Pierfrancesco Tateo
