Maybe you need to edit >snapscan.conf and enter the file name of the firmware file? See man >sane-snapscan for details. > > 'scanimage -L' gives me the following: device 'snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner16 flat bed scanner I found on Internet that file u64v119.bin is the firmware for this scanner, so I changed snapscan.conf file entering the address and name of this file (/mnt/win_c/windows/usbbin/u64v119.bin). However wen I run scanimage -d snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0 the scanner start to make some noise and I got the following: scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O Also I made a directory /home/myname/driverscanner.bin/ and placed here the firmware file and changed again the address in snapscan.conf file. By the way I made 'chmod 777 snapscan.conf' and 'chmod 777 u64v119.bin' in both addresses, but the answer is the same. >When you run "SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 scanimage -L" you or the >snapscan developers may get a clue what's wrong. > I got the following: [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 255.
