Hi All, I have a CanoScan LiDE 120, which is not supported by SANE. The previous model, the LiDE 110, is supported by the genesys backend. I thought that before I tried to return my scanner it would be nice to see if perhaps it is similar enough to the 110 to work, at least partially, with the existing driver.
I am running CrucnhBang Linux, which is a Debian variant. *sane-find-scanner *yields: # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x190e, chip=GL848+?) at libusb:001:005 found USB scanner (vendor=0x0cf3, product=0x9271) at libusb:001:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Not checking for parallel port scanners. # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program. # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary. The 0x04a9 device is the scanner (I think the 0x0cf3 device is my HP printer). So I edited the* /etc/sane.d/genesis.conf* file, adding the lines: # Canon LiDE 120 usb 0x04a9 0x190e and rebooted. Then* scanimage -L *yields: 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 what I find strange. Shouldn't SANE at least think that the scanner is supported by genesys due to my edit of the genesys.conf file? Is there something else I have to do to "trick" SANE into trying to use genesys to control the scanner? Other information: The scanner works; I am able to use it from a Windows machine. And I had no trouble with a (borrowed) CanoScan LiDE 110, so my system is set up properly to use SANE. Thanks very much for any suggestions you can offer.
