From http://www.sane-project.org I downloaded sane-backends-1.0.18.tar.gz, and from http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html I downloaded plustek-usb-0.51.14.tar.gz, then followed the steps described in the plustek documentation: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Change to your home directory and create a sane directory cd ~ mkdir sane unpack your sane tar-ball (here "sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz") to this "sane" directory cd sane tar xvzf /tmp/sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz Now unpack your plustek-sane tarball (here "plustek-sane-0.45-1.tar.gz") to the backends directory: cd sane-backends-1.0.9 tar xvzf /tmp/plustek-sane-0.45-1.tar.gz Now do the ./configure step... Especially for SuSE with a preinstalled SANE-RPM: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info Then do the make step and after that as root user perform the make install step. That's all! -------------------------------------------------------------------- . Then I did `# sane-find-scanner' and got the output: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2220 [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:002 . Then I added to plustek.conf the following lines: [usb] 0x04a9 0x2220 device libusb:001:002 , but still `# scanimage -h' gives the following: scanimage: no SANE devices found . I'm lost here, please a help... Thanks, Rodolfo
