My Canon CanoScan LiDE 25 is found by sane-find-scanner but not by scanimage (using sane-frontends-1.0.13-2mdk, xsane-0.97-2mdk, and sane-backends-1.0.17-2.1.20060mdk on Mandriva 2006). So far I have done the following:
1. Downloaded and installed a version of sane-backends (1.0.17) that supports the LiDE 25 to replace my older 1.0.16. 2. Insured that the scanner is seen by the USB subsystem and reports information consistent with man sane-plustek: [warren@gerencia ~]$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04a9:2220 Canon, Inc. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 3. Modified /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf per man sane-plustek. Specifically, I added the line "[usb] 0x04a9 0x2220". I have tried both "device auto" and not having a device line. 4. Insured that sane-find-scanner sees the LiDE 25 and reports information consistent with man sane-plustek: [warren@gerencia ~]$ sane-find-scanner [snip] found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2220 [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:002 5. Run "scanimage -L" with debugging on, looking for clues. I can send the entire lengthy output if desired, but what jumps out at me is: [warren@gerencia ~]$ export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=24 [warren@gerencia ~]$ export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=24 [warren@gerencia ~]$ export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=24 [warren@gerencia ~]$ scanimage -L [snip] [plustek] Checking for 0x04a9-0x2206 [plustek] Checking for 0x04a9-0x2207 [plustek] Checking for 0x04a9-0x2208 [plustek] Checking for 0x04a9-0x220d [plustek] Checking for 0x04a9-0x220e [plustek] Available and supported devices: [plustek] NONE. [snip] Sane-plustek checks for other Canon (vendor ID 0x04a9) scanners, but not for the one I am interested in (product ID 0x2200) and that is supported by 1.0.17. Huh? I check to make sure that my version of sane-backends really is 1.0.17 and not something earlier: [warren@gerencia ~]$ rpm -q sane-backends sane-backends-1.0.17-2.1.20060mdk I have searched the sane mailing list archives, read the sane-plustek homepage, and googled for clues on what might be wrong on my end to cause a backend to not check for a supported scanner, but have come up empty. Any ideas on what else I should be looking at to solve this issue? -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Cop?n, Honduras http://srcopan.vze.com/
