That was a typo, it's libwdi, not libdwi. Located here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/libwdi/index.php?title=Main_Page. I tried the 1.0.23 version, and maybe I'll try git, but still no luck. Using a utility (zadig) in the libwdi package you can substitute the native windows usb driver with a libusb-win32 compatible one (I guess?). Doing that sane-find-scanner is able to detect the scanner but scanimage -L says "no scanners identified". Without the intervention of libwdi not even sane-find-scanner finds the device. I also tried with a Kodak i2600 scanner, same results. The windows driver for the devices are not installed (and in fact seems that for the hp 5300C they don't exist anymore). Now I'm using windows 7 32 bit. Thanks for the answers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
