Update on scanner problems: (1) HP 6300C on SCSI machine (SANE 1.0.5/Xsane 0.79): Got Xsane to compile (thanks Peter - it was due to gtk.h being in a non-standard directory). It scans using Xsane, but only in "Normal" mode. The XPA setting (transparency adapter) doesn't work - it times out and hangs up.
(2) HP 6200 on USB machine at work (SANE 1.0.4/Xsane 0.78): xscanimage and xsane both come up with "no devices detected". Scanimage does initiate a scan, dumping data to stdout (the screen in this case): [rcs@rcsully: ~]$ scanimage -d hp:/dev/usbscanner0 P4 # SANE data follows 2550 3507 @@@@@ h Y `D@@ @ @@ A@0@@À @@ @ etc. Any way to get xscanimage and xsane to see the scanner? We're almost there....! Both boxen are running Mandrake 8.0 with 2.4.6 custom-compiled kernels. Thanks much !! -- 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."
