I am try to use a Canon Lide30 scanner(USB) with Linux RH8.0. Evidently a rebranded Plustek
I first checked with 'lsusb' and the scanner is recognized. I then loaded the scanner module and then ran 'sane-find-scanner and it reported the scanner at /dev/usb/scanner0. However when I started Xsane it said no scanner device could be found. Trying to correct this I edited the plustek.conf file-first making a backup copy.. I put in the VendorID and the Product ID. However when this still resulted in Xsane saying no device could be found I reverted to the original plustek.conf. Things have only become worse. Now when I run 'sane-find-scanner I get the following message. 'scanner.c: open-scanner(0): unable to access minor data' I get the same message for all 15 usb scanner devices. I assumed it might be a permissions problem but the same message is returned as root. Can someone tell me what the problem is.
