also, have you made yourself a member of scanner groups?

also, is scanner working thru sane, xsane, or gimp?

i had problems with optic pro under xsane, but it worked perfect with
gimp

in a google linux search, *"avasys" AND "v10"*,  this showed up
among 14 total hits,

Hi, I got iscan working on AM64 platform. Did this by removing the sane 
backend for x86-64 and installing the 32 bit sane backend then 
installing the iscan and plugin RPMs.
iscan functions but the scanner is not recognised as such by sane, 
"scanimage -L" shows no scanners. So other apps that use the sane 
framework can't use the scanner although iscan is a plugin for GIMP.
So, something working but it would be nice to have proper x86_64 support.

also, have a look at,

it is for 'advanced search'.

thru 14 hits.
