Hey again - So now I have two problems related to HP scanners. One I've already mentioned (xsane 0.79 won't compile on one machine; that box has a 6300c in SCSI mode); see message from earlier today.
The second involves getting HP scanners (6200 and 6300) to work under USB. The problem is that neither xscanimage nor xsane will find the device. In one case, I believe that the scanner is actually not being recognized (can't find it with usbview, which sees the hub fine); the usb scanner module loads up OK. This scanner is plugged into two machines, one SCSI (this is the one which won't compile xsane) and one USB. The SCSI machine finds the scanner fine in both Linux and Windoze; it doesn't come up on the USB machine. In the other case (my work box), the scanner is seen by the usb hardware but it apparently won't initialize. I get the "timeout" message repeatedly. Windoze on this machine is also able to use the scanner without a problem. In either case, xscanimage and xsane report no devices found. I realize that hardware debugging isn't the focus of this list, but this has me scratching my head. All of the necessary files (/usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf and dll.conf) are set up correctly on the USB-interface machines (as per the hp-sane.txt files and several mini-HOWTo's on the 'net). Anyone have any ideas? I don't even mind a few flames as long as they contain useful information. :-P TIA -- Bob -- ______________________________________________________ Bob Sully -- Malibyte Consulting, Simi Valley, CA, USA rcs at malibyte dot com On the 8th day, God said: "Murphy, you're in charge."
