Greetings- I've been trying to move my scanner (an Epson 1640SU) from SCSI to USB in preparation for a new machine which will not have a SCSI card. I've got USB working (it mounts a USB memory stick fine) and the scanner module installed, as well as hotplug. Hotplug notices the scanner and assigns it to the usbscanner driver. sane-find-scanner finds the scanner. But xsane and scanimage don't. Any advice?
Debian 3.0 (woody) Kernel 2.4.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sane-find-scanner # Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected # to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal # Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners # that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that # is connected to a parallel or proprietary port. # You may want to run this program as super-user to find all devices. # Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access # permissions as necessary. sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04b8, product = 0x010a) at device /dev/usbscanner sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04b8, product = 0x010a) at device /dev/usbscanner0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scanimage scanimage: no SANE devices found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scanimage --list-devices No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
