In the kernel-ring buffer shows the scanner with following lines: hub.c: USB new divice connect on bus1/1/3, assigned device number 5 usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x1606/0x130) is not claimed by any active driver .. .. usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner scanner.c: 0.4.6:USB Scanner Driver Whereas the 0x1606/0x130 could be found in scanner.h in kernel/drivers/usb for the UMAX 2100U in a "static struct usb_device_id scanner_device_ids"-definition. So it seems to me, as this device is recognized as scanner, isn't it? If so, the question is, where I have to have that _active_ driver? (at that time?). > linux-usb.org for more info on supported scanners, which would make > scanner shopping a lot easier. For shure as is Jonathan Buzzards page at http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/ and I did that until 2:30am this morning ;-) > (the driver works -- big deal) that works with the 2010 yet, but > they have no problem shipping the scanner. You could always try the > 1220 driver, ymmv. Let us know if you find anything out. For shure I do so, but allow me one more question as you tried this, I assume. If I want to try that driver I have to recompile sane-1.0.6 or probably *.5, but as I mentioned in my second mail, I couldn't find them (just looked for binaries) in ppc as they should be in woody or sid (only x86? : -(( ) at least. Or do I have to compile that 1220u-backend against the sources of libsane, as this seems to contain what you find in the sane-backend on http://www.mostang.com/sane/ ? To finish: Has anybody here experiences with that he would share? TIA for all replies -- M.f.G. Georg Koss mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
