Hi,
I read the previous reports about making this scanner work, but I have
had no luck.
I removed the SANE frontend and backend RPMs, then downloaded and
compiled the current CVS backend. I copied the hotplug scripts to
/etc/hotplug/usb, extracted the firmware and put the proper path and
the vendor/device ID line in the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
file.
Here is what I have:
[dwhysong@sleepy sane-backends]$ sane-find-scanner
[...]
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0121 [EPSON
Scanner]) at libusb:001:011
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
[...]
[dwhysong@sleepy sane-backends]$ scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
I have rw permissions for the /proc/bus/usb/001/011 file.
The other "curiosity" is this. Upon connecting the USB cable, I see:
Oct 9 21:04:22 sleepy kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device
using address 12
Oct 9 21:04:22 sleepy /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Bad USB agent invocation
Oct 9 21:04:25 sleepy /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup libusbscanner for
USB product 4b8/121/110
Oct 9 21:04:25 sleepy /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Module setup
libusbscanner for USB product 4b8/121/110
Oct 9 21:04:26 sleepy devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted
I'm not sure why I'm getting "Bad USB agent invocation" -- that
happens when the $PRODUCT or $ACTION variables are not defined for
usb.agent (and I verified that neither are defined). But it seems to
run the libusbscanner script, so I'm guessing the real problem does
not lie with the hotplug scritps.
Kernel 2.6.6-rc1, x86_64 architecture.
Any suggestions?
