Hi. The HP 5300 is an Avision OEM scanner labeled by HP.
This is the Avision backend page: http://drocklinux.dyndns.org/rene/avision/index.html Latest code can be obtained from: http://www.rocklinux.org/people/rene/sane/ The HP 5300 does now work with SANE/Avision. I still try to track problems with the HP 5370 and HP 7400 - and with the color-calibration. To use the scanner you need the the HP53xx support in the kernel - or as module. The module will be called "hpusbscsi". Make sure your USB subsystem is working and you have SCSI generic support and hpusbscsi.

As usual, the linux kernel doesn't care whether you have it as module or in the kernel. But when you have modules make sure they are loaded "modprobe hpusbscsi". The scsi generic module is called "sg". You also need support for the USB-Controler. Wether OHCI or UHCI. > Right now I have both compiled into the kernel and the cat /proc/scsi/scsi > does not work where it worked before and I would like to know what is the > right way.

For a test compile all into the kernel. Do not foget OHCI or UHCI support (for the system controler). You should get somthing like this in your system log or on the screen (I do not know SuSE ...): usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe1960000, IRQ 10 usb-ohci.c: usb-00:02.3, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (#2) usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 3 ports detected PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:02.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:0f.0 usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe1962000, IRQ 5 usb-ohci.c: usb-00:02.2, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 3 ports detected Sorry for the short answer - but currently I'm in a hurry ... k33p h4ck1n6 René -- René Rebe (Registered Linux user: #248718 <http://counter.li.org>) eMail: rene.r...@gmx.net r...@rocklinux.org Homepage: http://drocklinux.dyndns.org/rene/ Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.
