Thanks to Thomas I finally have my HP5470c scanning under Linux. Adding "hp5400" to dll.conf was all that was needed, but only after I found and removed all my previous attempts at installing sane from rpm's and who knows what else.
The problems I have now may be caused by the backend or maybe I'm just missing something. 1. When scanning using xsane or scanimage the scan is fine if I leave the geometry set to the default, (although I do receive an error message from xsane "Backend sends more image data than it defined in parameters"), however if I change the geometry to suit the image eg. a 6x4 photo, the scanner produces a loud grating sound at the end of the scan. 2. Scans at 75dpi and 150 dpi produce images with a reasonable colour match, however when scanning at 300 dpi the colours are completely wrong. eg. blue becomes green Thanks in advance Rob Male > Hi Robe, > > Maybe you did not indicate in dll.conf that it should load hp5400 backend= > ? > edit /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf or /etc/sane.d/dll.conf=20 > and on a new line add : hp5400 > Note that direct load of backend (e.g. with -d hp5400) has not been teste= > d=20 > yet. > > Let us know if it works.
