Evening, gang.
Huge thanks to riedzig for digging this one up. I've had Epson's Image Scan! utility installed across the kennels since I can't remember when.....and Skanlite makes it look pathetic.
As with all KDE-based apps, it's a big one, due largely to the need for most of the components for the Plasma desktop to be in place before Skanlite will behave itself.....but it all does what it's supposed to, and this thing just works. It detects the Epson's scanner section without fuss, and all the other Epson-related bits'n'bobs that get installed along with it.
Tonight was the first time I've been able to scan properly, without hassle, for over 2 years.
As I said in the other thread, I'm beginning to think that keeping Puppy lean'n'mean, and as tiny as possible, just isn't an issue like it once was. Most of the very resource-starved hardware that was prevalent when Puppy first appeared on the scene hit the landfill a long time ago, and quite a number of Puppians are running hardware that's easily the equivalent of anything Windoze users can field. So large-ish AppImages like this are not the problem they would once have been......and I'm not complaining anyway, 'cos whoever builds these things for the KDE community knows his onions! I run several KDE AppImages of one sort or another, and without fail they ALL just "work".....without fuss. And that's in spite of the sheer amount of stuff they contain.
For those among you who perform any amount of scanning, I can thoroughly recommend this thing. I can't speak for other makes & models of printer, but it definitely works OK with Epsons.
For anyone who may be interested, you can find the Skanlite-portable package at the following link:-
As always:-
Download
Unzip
Place the portable wherever you like, though preferably outside the 'save'.
Click to enter
Click 'LAUNCH' to fire it up
Use the 'LAUNCH' script to keep it portable. For greater system integration, additional scripts permit easy adding/removal of a menu entry.....if required.
Enjoy.
Mike.
