I'm confused, does iscan work with the 2450 or not?

Yes it does

And it was the 1690 that died on you?

No, the 2450 died when I used the Xsane, with it using the driver for the 1690, because the version of Xsane that comes with Suse 8.0 does not support the 2450

For those wanting to check on supported scanners before purchasing one to use on your Linux machine, go to this site: http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html

Epson is probably the best to use overall, except for the 1250 model. It shows the 2450 well supported except for the firewire connection. USB should work fine though. I too would like to hear someone's experience with the above scanner though.

I use it; it works fine with the USB connection, but not at all with the FireWire connection. I typically use scanimage, but xsane, xscanimage, and vuescan all work fine with it.

===================
Roland,
Have you gotten IScan from Epson for using the 2450 yet? It is the same thing or better that is over on Windows. Epson supplies it for free and I use it for most of my scanning with my Perfection 1650 Photo. It is very nice. Here is the url if you are interested, there may even be a new version out now.

I just checked the site though and it is down right now due to compliance with the GPL. I am sure they will have it going again soon, but in the meantime, if anyone wants or needs the program, I have the last version they distributed and would be happy to upload to you.

Hello.

I have one too, and have had some problems with it. I am using it on a Suse 8.0 Pro, and my version of Iscan is iscan-1.4.0-2.i386.rpm.
When I am using it from the acquire/scanning(iscan) menu in the Gimp, every things seem to work, but all I get is a blank=empty image. When I am using it directly it runs just great. I have been trying with the Xsane (version of Suse 8.0) but the 2450 is not in there, so I tryed with another - as far as I remember the 1690 - and it resulted in a 'dead' TPU. Epson is luckily very generous, so a got a new one instead. No one will say/admit that a 'wrong' driver can harm the light unit.

Haven't tried it. The primary thing I am interested in is getting raw scans out with no post scan adjustments. I can tolerate analog adjustments made inside the scanner, but none of the software I have used makes it clear where the adjustments are made. scanimage is raw, vuescan has a raw mode. Everything else is, well, I don't know.

I'll have to have a look at iscan.

And it was the 1690 that died on you?
