Hi, these error messages may belong to a video module. You can try to avoid these messages by commenting out the entry v4l in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.
After you have plugged in the USB cable of the scanner, you should see it in /proc/bus/usb/devices. Something similar to T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=03f0 ProdID=0601 Rev= 1.00 S: Product=HP ScanJet 6300C S: SerialNumber=SG98P161P3PE C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=60 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbscanner E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 16 Ivl= 0ms E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 1 Ivl=250ms should appear. At least the line with "Product" should show the name of your printer. If you don't see it, the scanner was not recognized on the USB. If you want to try the paralle-port solution, you find on http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/ppscsi.html how to load the modules required for your scanner. --Peter Terrence van Ettinger schrieb: > I changed to USB abter finding the proper cable finally.
