Thanks for the response. I found 2 problems after some more poking around. The scanner needed some sort of reset as it was in a state that was like it was turned off in mid scan, I' not sure what happened there. And secondly it needed the firmware ;-) which was obtained at the Benq (?) website.
Is there a way to send a reset to the scanner to send it to it's 'home' position? -Paul On Mon, 11 Nov 2002 09:27:15 +0100 (MET) Oliver Schwartz <[email protected]> opened up to us and said: > Hi, > > > and (at the console): > > [snapscan] Implementation error: Driver name not found > > [snapscan] download_firmware: No firmware entry found in config file > snapscan.conf. > > You're seeing two problems here: One is an implementation error, it > doesn't find a description string for your scanner model.
