hellp my name is andy egan and i have recently bought a hp2200c scanner. my problem is the sane doesnt regonize it. i have suse7.1 kernel 2.4 and it is a usb scanner i have configured a hp printer usb also on linux but the scanner no i began by doing a cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and i get that my scanner is there it tells me that its vendor=03f0 and product=0605 then i do a modprobe scanner vendor=03f0 product=0605 and it tells me sometimes only that the 'f' in the vendor is bad.and sometimes no. if it doesnt tell me it is bad i then do a cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers and it sees the the scanner as it should. then according to the sane homepage i check to see if i have permission to use it and i have and i also edit the /etc/sane.d/hp.conf file and it is as follows /dev/scanner/ /dev/usbscanner option connect-device i have also edited the /etc/rc.config file to add USB_DEVICES="scanner" as i was told in the suse manual. and after all this the xsane program tells me that it doesnt see a scanner as i am not very good with linux at the moment i would appreciate help. i have also noticed that in one of the computers i have in the lan that it tells me the following after i try the modprobe scanner vendor=03f0 product=0605 "USB DEVICE 2 (vend/prod 0x3f0/0x605 is not claimed by ant active driver)" if anyone could help me with the problem i would be very happy. i want to begin to scan and use gimp to play with the pictures. a detailed setup and configuring would be great. thanks in advanced Andy Egan -------------------------------------------------------
