i just joined this list earlier today in an attempt to get my scanner (hp scanjet 3300c) working under linux. everything looked like it was going well until i got to the "testtool" part. i emailed the authors of the programs but i haven't recieved a response so i thought this might be a good idea. this is what was sent to the authors:
i was very excited to see that one of my scanners was supported under linux even with usb. i assumed it wouldn't work so i didn't even bother to look around. after a boring night i thought i would make it a project to get my scanner working and that's how i ended up at your site. i installed sane-1.08 without any problems. after following the directions (http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~bertrik/hp3300c/README.html) exactly it seemed that it would only be a few command lines before i was scanning. my first attempte was under xsane but i noticed that it didn't detect my scanner. i tried testtool and recieved this: wackness@sliz:/download/testtool$ ./testtool Segmentation fault i checked to see if my scanner was detected using sane-fine-scanner and i got this out: wackness@sliz:/download/testtool$ sane-find-scanner # Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected # to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal # Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners # that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that # is connected to a parallel or proprietary port. # You may want to run this program as super-user to find all devices. # Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access # permissions as necessary. sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x03f0, product = 0x0205) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x03f0, product = 0x0205) at device /dev/usbscanner sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x03f0, product = 0x0205) at device /dev/usbscanner0 i'm only using one scanner, but it looks like it found a duplicate. i did mknod to create /dev/usbscanner0 and then ln -s for /dev/usbscanner. any advice would be helpful. i think the problem might be with testtool. i get an error while trying to compile it. wackness@sliz:/download/testtool$ make gcc -Wall -c -o main.o main.c gcc -Wall -c -o hp3300c_xfer.o hp3300c_xfer.c In file included from hp3300c_xfer.c:51: /usr/local/include/usb.h:39: warning: `USB_DT_HID' redefined /usr/include/linux/usb.h:57: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/local/include/usb.h:40: warning: `USB_DT_REPORT' redefined /usr/include/linux/usb.h:58: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/local/include/usb.h:41: warning: `USB_DT_PHYSICAL' redefined /usr/include/linux/usb.h:59: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/local/include/usb.h:42: warning: `USB_DT_HUB' redefined /usr/include/linux/usb.h:60: warning: this is the location of the previous definition gcc -Wall -c -o hp3300c.o hp3300c.c gcc -Wall -c -o hp3400c.o hp3400c.c gcc -lm -lusb -o testtool main.o hp3300c_xfer.o hp3300c.o hp3400c.o if i should be asking someone else for help, could you point me in the right direction? oh, i'm trying to use the kernel method, but without devfs. it is instead /proc under the kernel. thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
