I'm trying to get an AGFA Spanscan E50 USB scanner to work. It didn't right out of the box so I have some learning to do.
What is the generic USB driver that is mentioned? I configured USB scanner support into the kernel, it works as a module. I am using the CVS version of SANE and the 20020926 snapscan backend (which version is in CVS SANE?). Hopefully someone can interpret this for me. The first cat is after I booted. The scanner is recognized but there is no driver has claimed that interface (the usbscanner as mentioned in the docs at http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/). usbscanner is supposed to be mentioned. cat /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 3 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB OHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=d8814000 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)
