Hi All and Thanks in advance! I've been trying to resolve this for the past two days and am turning to this list out of desperation, I'm completely baffled :-(.
The scanner is fully supported according to the lists of suppored devices on the sane site. I'm not sure if the following is all the info needed, but as noted I am thoroughly confused at this point. The scanner is seen is /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=06bd ProdID=2061 Rev= 1.1e S: Manufacturer=AGFA S: Product= Snapscan1212u_2 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr=100mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none) E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 8 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=16ms The docs make reference to a needed kernel driver, but if one exists in the kernel config I do not recognize it (per above: I: [ ... ] Driver=(none). I have emerged the sane back ends and xsane. I thought perhaps I needed the following in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf file: #------------------------------ General ----------------------------------- # Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if # firmware upload is needed by the scanner firmware /usr/lib/sane/SnapScan_1212U_2.bin [ ... ] I'm still not sure if it is necessary or not. Whatever is going on here, nothing in /dev gets created in any form I would recognize as to having to do with a scanner. All other USB devices are working fine (Joystick, usb filesystem camera and A Palm Pilot USB cradle) and the appropriate /dev entries exist. I've read until my eyes ache :-) and googled on everything I could think of that would help me resolve this issue. I'm embarrased to admit that I came up with nothing that seems to have been helpful, I have to have missed something there somewhere, maybe multiple times :-(. The only "progress" I get is that sane seems to pickup my tv tuner card which xsane won't work with anyhow and it is rather useless for scanning stuff this way :-). Any help, suggestions or pointers *greatly* appreciated. Thanks & take care, V. -- Victoria Welch, WV9K/7.
