Linux User 167806 >webhome http://ed-tharp.is-a-geek.org *********** SEPARADOR DE LA RESPUESTA *********** I´m seeing the "Acer FlatBedScanner22" at "Mandriva Linux Control Center => Hardware => Set up scanner => Add a scanner manually" I also see sometimes a "Noname unknown/generic virtual device" message. I have SANE installed. In /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf is a reference to the firmware that came with the windows CD of my Benq 5000 flat scanner. The reference is to /usr/share/sane/firmware/20F8U115.bin . I confirmed the bin file that comes with the windows installation CD is there. There is also a reference in the snapscan.conf to the Benq 5000 scanner. The lines are: # Benq 5000 usb 0x04a5 0x20fc I have no idea what those references are for. I still can not scan. Which is the next step? Thanks, Luis ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
