You surely don't mean that literally. Perhaps you are alluding to the possibility that the CX-5300 and the CX-5400 are identical, the latter being the American model and the former being the 'rest of the world model'? If so I have already tried that but to no avail. > The problem which is most often reported by users regarding scanner > setup is when a driver was set up but then no scanner was recognized > by this driver (the driver actually runs but the running driver > fails to recognize the scanner). Yes I have no doubt you are right. > I enhanced the YaST scanner config help text regarding this issue: This is not essentially a documentation issue it's a hardware support issue. The scanner works under SUSE10.0 but not later yet it is recognised correctly by lsusb see below. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> lsusb Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04b8:0808 Seiko Epson Corp.

I'm aware that it's too late for 10.2 but please don't dismiss this as a user configuration error it's not! If it's a SANE issue how do you explain the fact that the scanner works under Kooka in SUSE10.0? > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > If a driver is set up but no scanner is recognized by the driver, > possible reasons are: > The scanner is not connected or switched off, > the driver is not the right one for the particular model > (even small differences in model names or internal differences in > the same model series may require different drivers), > there are low-level (kernel related) device communication problems > (e.g. a low-level USB problem or a low-level SCSI problem). > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > For background information and regarding > "Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)" see > http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2 If I'm not mistaken there is no reference here to anything more recent than SUSE_LINUX_9.3. > > Kind Regards > Johannes Meixner --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
