Happy New Years everyone! I hope everyone had a good holiday. My parents
did; they received an hp scanner for christmas. Since I converted their
machine to Mandrake 8.1, I was told to make it work. Alas I've run into
difficulty so I thought someone on the list might be able to help.
Here's what I've done so far:
1) I took the vender and product ids I found by 'cat
/proc/bus/usb/devices' and added 'options scanner vendor=num product=num'
to modules.conf
2) Created device nodes by 'mknod /dev/usb/scanner0 c 180 48' and changed
permissions to 666.
3)Edited sanes's config file hp.conf to '/dev/usb/scanner0
option connect-device'
4) Issued 'modprobe scanner'
Up to this point everything seems to be fine; modprobe didn't complain.
However, when I ran xsane, it started to scan for devices and reported
none were found. Have I missed something?
Thanks for your help!
Randy
