I have a Acer ScanPrisa 640U flatbed scanner Im running Slackware10 2.4.26
Im having trouble getting xsane to pic up my scanner .. when I run xsane I get the start-up dialog and I accept the EULA .. then a dialog saying; "failed to detect any device" appears .. its the same with kooka .. its dead as a dodo .. I have run through the how-to on http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/ and still im no better off .. these are the commands that I have run to help me in my quest to get this device active .. when I run "sane-find-scanner" command I get: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x2060) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x2060 [ FlatbedScanner 13]) at libusb:002:002 lsmod: Module Size Used by Tainted: P scanner 11040 0 parport_pc 14788 0 parport 23336 0 [parport_pc] uhci 24444 0 (unused) usbcore 59308 2 [scanner uhci] ide-scsi 9328 0 dmesg | less: usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1 PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:07.3 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:07.2 uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xdc00, IRQ 10 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:07.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:07.3 uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xd800, IRQ 10 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport_pc: Via 686A parallel port: io=0x378 hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4a5/0x2060) is not claimed by any active driver. usbdevfs: remount parameter error usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner scanner.c: USB scanner device (0x04a5/0x2060) now attached to scanner0 scanner.c: 0.4.16:USB Scanner Driver /etc$ cat /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 17/900 us ( 2%), #Int= 1, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI-alt Root Hub S: SerialNumber=d800 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

MxPS= 8 Ivl=255ms here is the extracts from snapscan.conf that required a twig at firmware line: #------------------------------ General ----------------------------------- # Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if # firmware upload is needed by the scanner #firmware /path/to/your/firmware/file.bin firmware /dev/usb/scanner0 u96v121.bin # If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name. # For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb # For SCSI scanners specify the generic device, e.g. /dev/sg0 on Linux. # /dev/sg0 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # No changes should be necessary below this line #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- any ideas are welcome .. :) sycofly
