Hi, I am using an Asrock dual sata motherboard with AMD939 64 processor and sataII drive. I have installed PClinuxos minime0.93a a Mandriva based system on to a clean partion. I have also installed an Epson r220 usb printer which works really well. The Distro uses xsane 0.991_2tex sane-backends 1.0.18-1tex libusb 1.0.18-1tex kernel is 2.6.16.27.tex1.lve for i686 kde version 3.5.3
I am unable to get the scanner to work. It has worked before with Xandros3.0.2 and does with the simplymepis6 livecd. So I know that the cables etc are ok. When booted with the scanner on sane-find-scanner results in found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0112 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:004:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. 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). this is both as root and as normal user. I have tried specifying the usb vendor and device in the epson.conf and epkowa.conf files in /etc/sane.d I have also modified /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libsane.rules ACTION!="add", GOTO="libsane_rules_end" SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", GOTO="libsane_rules_end" as suggested for Iscan at http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/faq_scan.html ACTION!="add", GOTO="libsane_rules_end" SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="libsane_rules_end" but this doesnt work. #lsusb states Bus 004 Device 004: ID 04b8:0112 Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 2450 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:050c Hewlett-Packard 5219 Wireless Keyboard Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 If I switch the scanner off and on I then get # scanimage -L device `epkowa:libusb:004:005' is a Epson Perfection 2450 flatbed scanner # scanimage >image.pnm scanimage: no SANE devices found Whatever I try I cant seem to get to see the device. I would be grateful for any help to resolve this. Similar problems exist with Xandros4.0 thanks Tom _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters
