Is your scanner working in Linux now? I recently had a similar problem with a SnapScan 1212U in Hardy:
sane-find-scanner ... found USB scanner (vendor=0x06bd [AGFA ], product=0x2061 [SNAPSCAN]) at libusb:003:006 scanimage -L device `snapscan:libusb:003:006' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN flatbed scanner When I tried to scan something from the command line it provided an important clue: scanimage -d snapscan:libusb:003:006 >test.pnm [snapscan] Cannot open firmware file /usr/share/sane/snapscan/snap1212u.bin. [snapscan] Edit the firmware file entry in snapscan.conf. scanimage: open of device snapscan:libusb:003:006 failed: Invalid argument I had forgotten that my scanner requires firmware to be uploaded to it every time it's turned on. I had previously already extracted "snap1212u.bin" from the Windows drivers. I put it in "/etc/share/sane/snapscan" and edited the firmware line "/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf" to load it: firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/snap1212u.bin It now works: scanimage -d snapscan:libusb:003:006 >test.pnm [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 15 seconds. It generated test.pnm as expected. -- xsane not finding agfa spanscan 1236U https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
