Hi, I'm trying to get a ix500 work on my pc with ubuntu 14.04 freshly installed; the scanner is attached through usb cable to a usb2 port (my pc has only usb2 ports)
when the usb cable is first connected (or the scanner is switched on), dmesg reports usb 2-6: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci usb 2-6: New USB device found, idVendor=04c5, idProduct=132b usb 2-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 2-6: Product: ScanSnap iX500 usb 2-6: Manufacturer: Fujitsu the backend is installed from the debian libsane package (version number 1.0.23-3ubuntu3) I've modified the fujitsu.conf file appending at the end #ScanSnap iX500 usb 0x04c5 0x132b I've also modified /etc/default/saned to have RUN=yes and restarted with sudo service saned restart (the service starts with no errors) sane-find-scanner *does not* find anything, even with sudo sudo scanimage -L remains silend for almost a minute, during which the scanner's blue light change status, becomes half/orange and flashing ; after a minute or more, the response is "No scanners were identified. ...." any suggestion? where to start? thanks!! -- View this message in context: http://sane.10972.n7.nabble.com/fujitus-scansnap-ix500-not-found-by-sane-find-scanner-tp18666.html Sent from the SANE - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
