I'm pretty new to the Linux Scanner world but I'm trying to ween myself off of photo shop and illustrator as much as can be blah blah blah, but the scanner thing is a huge deal since I do have to scan things on a regular basis. Well long before I even thought of really doing graphics work on Linux I bought an Astra 3400 (Umax). I've seen that it seems to be supported in theory under USB but it doesn't register as a scanner even though sane-find-scanner shows it to exist as a scanner (in the vendor/product chip ID's) it doesn't show up when I try to open sane. I've tried adding the product_ID and vendor_ID to the [usb] section but this doesn't even help. Sane just doesn't see it even though the system seems to. Am I missing something? I feel as though I'm doing something wrong.
Astra 3400 (PID of "0x0060" from "sane-find-scanner -f") RHL 8.0 plustek.conf is stock except for the addition of the vendor/product codes I'd rather not buy another scanner.......
