Hi there.
I am a totally newbie in Mandriva and Linux affairs. I´m migrating from
MS-Windows to Mandriva Linux Powerpack 2007 and have a lot of headaches
with drivers. However I consider that as part of the learning curve.
I have a Benq 5000 flatbed scanner, but Mandriva recognize it as a Acer
FlatBedScanner22. I had tried to change the configuration to Benq 5000
(Mandriva has it in it´s scanners list) but untill now I only have gotten
frustation. I had also looked for an answer in Mandriva Forum but I have
not found anything usefull.
Any ideas? In my case step by step help will be necesary.
Thanks in advance.
Luis

where (in what software program) are you seeing "Mandriva recognize it
as a Acer FlatBedScanner22"
do you have sane installed?
have you edited snapscan.conf to reflect the location of the correct
firmware file (*.bin) from the windows install disk or install location?

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
