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. [cook@pcp885780pcs cook]$ 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. John Danielson
