Hi, I'm attempting to get an HP Scanjet 4100c USB scanner working on Fedora Core 5 with a 2.6.16 kernel, but I seem be having some difficulties. When I connect the device, I see the following messages in /var/log/messages:
---snip--- kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup kernel: usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 kernel: usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice ---snip--- I then tried running sane-find-scanner and scanimage as root. When I run sane-find-scanner, it sees the scanner: ---snip--- $ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0101 [HP ScanJet 4100C]) at libusb:001:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. ---snip--- However, when I try to use scanimage, I run into problems: ---snip--- $ 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). $ scanimage -d hp:libusb:001:004 --format tiff > ~/temp.tiff scanimage: open of device hp:libusb:001:004 failed: Error during device I/O ---snip--- At this point, I'm stumped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your assistance in advance. Sean -- You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.
