p.s. If anybody can help me out with 9.10 install, please send me a message, or reply on my own post.Thnx
... Wait a minute everyone..., GREAT NEWS! Finally able to get the newer release of iScan (after endless searching). Installed newer .deb package, and then ran sane find scanner utility. Once scanner was detected, (of course, after installing iScan), I then rebooted system, and WAHLA!!! I have Karmic Koala running with working WorkForce 500 printer and scanner.
Good luck to everyone, and working together is how we move foward...
Newer iScan .deb
