Huh? XSane is a frontend for SANE. It's not involved in accessing USB devices. XSane uses sane-backends which may use either the scanner driver or libusb to access USB scanners. > I think I read that scanner.c was mostly broken in 2.6? True. I still don't know the reason as it worked for me in 2.6.0 and earlier versions. > xsane mailing lists would also be a good place to look for help Well, maybe. But ususally it makes more sense to look at sane-devel instead as this is about the SANE backends which actually access the kernel device files. To answer the question: libusb is the replacement for access by the kernel scanner driver. It has been the default in SANE for a long time whenthe scanner driver was not loaded. And it's the only way to access scanners on other operating systems anyway. "man sane-usb" provides some tips, e.g. on permissions. If libusb access doesn't work, it's either a bug in the SANE backend, libusb or the kernel. Checking if it works on 2.4 with libusb may help to find out what's wrong. Sending a mail to sane-devel with a complete log file may also help. Bye, Henning ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
