Good. Installing XSane should do no harm, though. > I can't get sane-find-scanner to find anything > Same problem with scanimage -L > I've tried a lot of things > > What should I check? Please list as many as possible. I guess you already found the documentation on http://snapscan.sourceforge.net - it should point you in the right direction. > I can insttall ausb module using insmod scanner and get : > > [root@localhost root]# insmod scanner > Using /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/usb/scanner.o You have to specify the vendor and product ID while loading the scanner. Try "modprobe scanner vendor=0x04a5 product=0x20de". Then run "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" and check that you see "Driver=usbscanner" in the entry for the scanner. Then try "scanimage -L" again. > I have detected a uhci based controller but think more configuration may be > needed here. There's nothing you can configure for the controller. You only have to make sure that an appropriate driver module ("uhci" or "usb-uhci") is loaded. > Should I use dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/usb/scanner0 ?? Does it matter? Yes - You should use /dev/usb/scanner0. I guess /dev/ttyUSB0 won't work (but it never crossed my mind to try it). Regards, Oliver
