from a trawl thru the mailing list it seems the first step with sane is to
get the scanner module to detect my scanner. I get:
Oct 1 11:44:25 fang kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus
number 2
Oct 1 11:44:25 fang kernel: hub.c: USB hub found
Oct 1 11:44:25 fang kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected
Oct 1 11:44:30 fang kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
Oct 1 11:44:30 fang kernel: scanner.c: 0.4.6:USB Scanner Driver
Oct 1 11:45:21 fang kernel: hub.c: new USB device 10:19.0-1, assigned
address 2Oct 1 11:45:21 fang kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod
0x3f0/0x1105) is not claimed by any active driver.
The scanner is a HP Scanjet 5470c with USB. My kernel is:
Linux fang 2.4.20-pre7-ben0 #19 Thu Sep 19 15:40:05 BST 2002 ppc unknown
unknown GNU/Linux
on an iBook2.
Looking at scanner.h I see:
/* Hewlett Packard */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0205) }, /* 3300C */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0405) }, /* 3400C */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0101) }, /* 4100C */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0105) }, /* 4200C */
and:
// { USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0701) }, /* 5300C - NOT SUPPORTED - see
http://www.neatech.nl/oss/HP5300C/ */
so does that rule out the 5470 too? is it worth hacking the avision driver
and see if anything magic happens?
TIA!
have fun,
