Help!
I have just installed SUSE 8.2 on my Dell Inspiron 7000. All has gone =
well apart from my HP4200C scanner.
Reading the mails on your site I see that I am not alone in this =
problem. The symptoms of my failure are very similar, but not quite the =
same as others report.
Installation with YaST has recognised the existence of a scanner device =
and put an icon on the desktop.
The command: sane-find-scanner produces the response:
"found USB scanner (vendor=3D0x03f0, product=3D0x0107) at libsub:001:003
found USB scanner (vendor=3D0x03f0, product=3D0x0105) at libsub:001:004
A USB device was detected. This program can't be sure if it's really a =
scanner. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage."
Running scanimage -L results in: "No scanners were identified."
Running YaST for the scanner identifies it as the scanner correctly as =
HP-4200C. If I select from the menu that it should be installed as =
Hewlett-packard Scanjet 4200c with SANE driver hp4200. Then selecting =
install produces an error message: "The scanner configuration was not =
successful." I have tried variations such as selecting a generic scanner =
- all without success.
Determined not to be so easily defeated I have located and tried, via =
the SANE site, the following:
1 backend-0.2-p1.tar.gz This unpacks to produce what appear to =
be a useful set of drivers for the HP4200, but no instructions on how to =
apply them.
2 sane-backends-1.0.8-hp4200-0.3.patch.gz
3 sane_hp4200-1.0.3-2mdk.i586.rpm and =
sane_hp4200-devel-1.0.3-2mdk.i586.rpm
Neither of 2 or 3 can I install using YaST. Both give me an error =
message: error loading package.
I have run out of ideas on where to go next. SUSE response is not us =
guv.
Are there any pearls of wisdom that might help me?
