Then it doesn't make sense to go on. First make sure that the scanner is detected by sane-find-scanner. Load the scanner module with the vendor and product id of your scanner (see man sane-usb). Also have a look at /proc/bus/usb/devices, the scanner should be listed with Driver=usbscanner. > scanimage -L gets as far as > [viceo] attach: opening usb /dev/usb/scanner0 > [viceo] ----ScLoader---- > and then gives the same message as sane-find-scanner, which is > > scanner.c: open_scanner(0): Unable to access minor data That's a warning message only. This means, that the backend tried to open /dev/usb/scanner0 but the scanner module hasn't detected any scanner so the open fails. > It looks as though sane can't connect to the scanner device.

It's not a problem of SANE but of the kernel scanner driver. Bye, Henning
