I'm dual booting with W98, trying to make full switch
to Linux step by step.I have a Visioneer 6200 USB scanner which Linux does
not seem to be able to recognize. (The USB shows up in
Mandrake Control Centerr, but no scanner.) I installed
all RPMs named SANE and now have a ton of programs
with that name, but still no sign of scanner and I
have no idea how to access a sane window to see if
there is any thing there that I need to configure.Is my problem simply that the scanner is not
compatable, or is there something else that I need to
do? Is SANE the right tool?
I had a similar problem with an epson scanner. The mailing list
helped me to solve the problem:
I just edited the file /etc/sane.d/epson.conf I commented the line with
SCSI epson and I uncommented
the line with /dev/usbscanner. That's all I needed. Perhaps you should
have a file similar to
epson.conf with the name of your scanner.
Bye
