I have been following this thread since I have an acer (Benq or prisa) U340 scanner that worked good when I first installed 9.1 and 9.0, but required some tweaking under ver 8.2,8.1 and 8.0, and would not work with a 2.2 series kernel. it also uses the snapscan backend. and my problems are the same symptoms after reading this I got to thinking maybe one of my sane (front or back ends) might not be installed, so I urpmi sane-backends, (everything installed), urpmi sane-frontends downloaded and installed, (damn go figure) so I start up the icon on the desktop for my scanner, about 5 mins (not an exagaration on a dual cpu p3 1g) goes by, and it gives me the choice to choose between my tv card and the usb scanner, choosing the scanner just gives me an error about invalid argument.
running; [EMAIL PROTECTED] et]# sane-find-scanner # 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=0x04a5, product=0x2022) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x2022 [ FlatbedScanner 13]) at libusb:001:003 # A USB device was detected. This program can't be sure if it's really # a scanner. If it is your scanner, 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. ok this looks normal to me, so I try scanimage -L (long hang more than 2 min) scanimage -L device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) virtual device device `snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner13 flatbed scanner ok looks good I wonder where to try next. >
