Hi can anyone help me resolve my problem with a Nikon Coolscan V slide scanner.
$ scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22; backend version 1.0.22 I did try compiling backends from git but with the same results. OS is basically debian Wheezy. scanimage -L detects the device when it has first been plugged in (along with a v4l camera. $ scanimage -L device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated Camera virtual device device `coolscan3:usb:libusb:001:006' is a Nikon LS-50 ED film scanner however the scanner disappears after I insert a slide. Re-plugging the USB cable makes it available again: $ scanimage -L device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated Camera virtual device device `coolscan3:usb:libusb:001:007' is a Nikon LS-50 ED film scanner However I get an error when I try to scan an image $ scanimage -d coolscan3:usb:libusb:001:007 >image.pnm scanimage: open of device coolscan3:usb:libusb:001:007 failed: Error during device I/O Thanks tom
