Here are some information:
See README.linux, which will come with the next release of sane-backends: http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sane-backends/README.linux?rev=1.13&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=sane > skull:~# ls -l /dev/usb/scanner0 > crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 180, 48 Mar 14 2002 > /dev/usb/scanner0 > (the same for all scanner*; but not relevant for libusb, right?) Correct. For libusb the /proc/bus/usb/???/??? files are relevant. > chris@skull:~$sane-find-scanner > [...] > # No USB scanners found.
