Someone sent they thought it was a permissions problem and to run from root.

When you run XSane from root you get this message:
  " You try to run XSane as root, that really is DANGEROUS!

I selected:
Continue at your own risk

The next screen is:
no device available

I selected Help:

It lists 6 items.
Entry #4 is, I Think, where my problem lies.

It is:
4)  The backend is not loaded by SANE (man sane-dll)

Doing " apropos sane" does not show a sane-dll.
I have no idea for fixing that.
thanks

  I am seeking help in getting my Lexmark X1185 scanner working.
I do not need the printer part at this time.
When I run sane-find-scanner I do get the vendor= 0x043d product= 0x07c @ libusb:001:006.
Running scanimage -L reports no scanner found.
I have on my system VM box with windows XP installed.
Installing the Lexmark windows driver for the scanner I can scan items.
When running xsane from root or the graphic interface I get the same message.
1  Really no device.                   not true
2  Device busy                         not true
3 No permission not true Get the same results in root 4 Backend not loaded by sane can't find sane-dll or man sane-dll 5 Backend not confg correctly ?? how do I know this I have sane-lexmark file in etc/sane.d/lexmark.confg as follows:
                              # X11xx series
                              usb 0x043d 0x007c
                              # X12xx series

                              usb 0x43d 0x0060
6  More than one sane version installed    ?? how would I find this out?

If you can help me I would appreciate it very much.
    Thank You

Hello,

could you test wtih the scanimage program as root, with debug traces enabled ?

In a shell type:
export SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK=255
export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255
sudo scanimage -L 2>probe.log

This will create a probe.log file with all the traces. Send it (zipped) to the list. We may find an explanation in these.

BTW, since is is a multi function device, maybe some printing service is blocking scanning access.

Regards,
    Stef
