This is really strange. Usually backends identify scanners by the vendor and product ids and than either print the vendor/product strings or they have their own list of product ids/names. If this were the case here, this meant that the scanner was correctly detected (maybe the backend prints always "SAMSUNG"). > The further step fails for very natural reason: > > sane_open - device name "SAMSUNG WorkCentre PE16 on USB:0"cannot open! You could try to enabled debugging to find out what?s wrong. Check the documentation of that backend (if any) for details. > Yes, of course: USB:0 is "Xerox WorkCentre PE16", not "SAMSUNG... ". I'm not sure if that's the reason. > Any ideas? How can I rename an USB device? No. Well, you could do that in the kernel or libusb with some tricks but I don't think it?s helpful. > Please reply to my personal address, I am not subscribed. Please subscribe.
