Hello, I have been trying to install the new HP5400 backend for my HP5470c on Redhat8.0. (but with no luck)
I downloaded and installed sane-backends-1.0.11 and sane-find-scanner recognizes the scanner, however scanimage -L reports "No scanners were identified" I downloaded the HP5400 backend and modified the paths in the Makefile before doing a make install. I made no changes to the hp5400.conf file sane-find-scanner returns:- "found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x1105) at /dev/usb/scanner0 # Your USB scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage." cat on /proc/bus/usb/devices returns:- P: Vendor=03f0 ProdID=1105 Rev= 0.00 S: Manufacturer=Hewlett-Packard S: Product=HP Scanjet 5400C Series I added the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local modprobe scanner vendor=0x03f0 product=0x1105 /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf has only 2 lines:- /dev/usb/scanner0 option connect-device Any suggestion on what to do now would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea where to start.
