hello all I am having huge probs getting this scanner to work with sane. it works under windows but thats not were i want it to work.
I have followed the insructions in the man pages and docs on the web. I had a brief look at the previous threads for this list and didnt find much that helped me. below is what i hav done so far $> cat /proc/scsi/scsi Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: Model: scanner 636EL Rev: 1.5 Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02 ( i noticed that under vendor there is a blank, i read that in this case you need to add the device, /dev/sg0, to the backend config file is that right?) $> ./sane-find-scanner sane-find-scanner: found scanner "scanner 636EL 1.50" at device /dev/sg0 (looks good to me) $> ./scanimage -L No scanners identified......blah blah (not so good) I have also created a group called scanner and made the permissions for the device. lsmod is happy with my scsi modules. I have also added to the ld.so.conf file the path for the sane libs. now have i missed anything or am i just plan stupid. I cannt figure it out, i am hoping that there is some one out there that might have a clue. Also these are standard mandrake 8.1 rpms from their dc. Many thanks Michael -- If linux doesnt have the solution, then you have the wrong problem.
