Hi all, This is apparently a developers mailing list. Ummm...I'm I'm in the wrong place, could you kindly point wher I should look?
I have an Acer 640BU scanner that doesn't appear to be working. I run RedHat7.1 linux. My USB system is apparently working, and my scanner is recognized at that level, since I get the following when I do a "more" on /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=b400 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

MxPS= 8 Ivl= 16ms As you can see, I have a device listed as "Vendor=04a5 ProdID=207e Rev= 1.00". I checked and this is indeed the code for my scanner. The "Product= FlatbedScanner 13" part is also a clue :-) So far so good. I also checked my /dev directory and found all sorts of scanner files (though I don't know exactly what these are used for). Specifically, I found : /dev/usb/scanner0 ... /dev/usb/scanner15 I did *NOT* find any /dev/usbscanner or /dev/scanner files. Are these necessary? How do I make them? Now I checked my /etc/sane.d directory and found a whole bunch of */conf files. I assume the one I have to modify is snapscan.conf, correct? So I modify that file to have only one line: usb /dev/usb/scanner0 Now I'm thinking I've done everything I need to. However, when I run xsane, it complains that no devices are available. Running scanimage --list-devices also produces no output at all. Soooo...does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on, now that I have rambled a bit. Any help is truly appreciated!
