Product: drakxtools
Component: scannerdrake
Summary: Epson Perfection 1650/1650 Photo SANE DB Mismatch
Version: 9.1-0.20mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Scannerdrake tells me that my scanner is not found in database. The sane-config man
entry
is present, no executable.
sane-find-scanner tentatively locates a scanner-- this is nice.
Ok, edit epson.conf
try again
same
RTFMing for 2 hours....
edit dll.conf to say
#net
epson
(save file)
[cook@pcp885780pcs cook]$ sane-find-scanner /dev/usb/scanner0
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0110) at /dev/usb/scanner0
# Your USB scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# 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.

NOW, the thing works. Leaving dll.conf defaulted to net stinks, the sane-find-scanner
thng is
not changing, and sane-config which one normally uses to autoconfig is missing.
Looks like the SANE DB entry for the Epson Perfection 1650/1650 Photo is missing an
entry,
or only has Epson Perfection 1650 instead of the dual entry. the driver is in the
epson lib,
and is teh GT-8200 module inside the libsane-epson lib and the scanner works.
Problem is multitiered, given it was discovered tentatively at first as an Epson, the
epson lib
should have been set in as backend to use. I also had to edit modules.conf and tell it
what
scanner to use as an option, then do a scanner modprobe, but that alone was not
enough.
All the above had to be done also (note that the installer found the scanner and
location on
USB bus, and I had an icon that did nothing except gen error in title. this is also
for others.
Beta 2 had no scanner for my scanner, and did nada with it except an icon that did not
run
XSANE right. 9.0 can set up my scanner to same driver, the GT-8200, out of box. Please
fix
xref DB you use to match, or the DB that you are bundling with SANE for sane to know
what
modules to set in, adn make sure that when scanners are configed they are configged
all the
way or get /usr/bin/sane-config back into the RPM set. The SANE-Epson man page lists a
Epson Perfection 1650 (this should be a Epson Perfection 1650/1650 Photo in DB, adn
xref'd to the Epson GT-8200 submodule).
Fix or document how to fix in simple linear way:
run sane-find-scanner
take vendor and product info, add a line like:
options scanner vendor=<vendor#> product=<prod#>
(so I stuck in:
options scanner vendor=04b8 product=0110
)
take name of vendor, edit that vendor's conf file so only the line that applies is
used:
SCSI was defaulted, most Epson's are USB, so I had to comment the SCSI line and
uncomment the /dev/usb/scanner0 line (which was already set up as a base layer device
at
install, the sane modules never got hooked and I think the scanner kernel module was
not
hooked *right* to begin with)
rerun sane-find-scanner as in excerpt of console session above with device name:
sane-find-scanner /dev/usb/scanner0
(this functions as a test call, then SANE remembers its config well, and after that
XSane
loads fine and works)
Till and MCC\Drakxtools teams, printing works GREAT, but scanning does not unless one
totally manually installs. The printerdrake module needs to be focus-forced to paint
in front
of the MCC main window, only way I could invoke and see was from Konsole. Scannerdrake
I coudl not get to run, from console, about 30 TODO: force-focus errors looped
followed by
a DB mismatch that was given as title of bug.
