Hi to all. I have an HP 4300c USB scanner and I know this scanner don't h= ave=20 Linux support, also no SANE support.
Through the SANE Home Page links now I know that I need the "SANE backend= s for=20 flatbed scanners with the NIASH chipset" for to work with my scanner. The= =20 installation of this packet that suppose: "In order to properly build SANE with the NIASH backend, you should remov= e any=20 previously installed version of SANE and all related packages (thanks to=20 Harman Nagra for pointing this out)". But if I want to remove my SANE packet (is the sane-backends-1.0.9-3.1mdk= and=20 sane-frontends-1.0.9-1.1mdk) I need to remove also this software: libsane1-1.0.9-3.1mdk libsane-devel-1.0.9-3.1mdk xsane-0.90-1.1mdk xsane-gimp-0.90-1.1mdk And the dependencies that suppose remove also: kdegraphics-3.0.3-11mdk kdegraphics-devel-3.0.3-11mdk kdevelop-2.1.3-6mdk koffice-1.2-3mdk koffice-devel-1.2-3mdk koffice-i18n-es-1.2-1mdk So I don't know if after to delete all this software I will to use KDE,=20 Koffice and some any other aplications with liasions with that ones. I have a Mandrake 9.0 distro with 2.4.19 Kernel version with the USB modu= le=20 charged at init (UHCI) and the sane-find-scanner returns that: # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure = that # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=3D0x03f0, product=3D0x0305) at /dev/usb/scanner= 0 found USB scanner (vendor=3D0x03f0, product=3D0x0305) at /dev/usbscanner found USB scanner (vendor=3D0x03f0, product=3D0x0305) at /dev/usbscanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=3D0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=3D0x0305=20 [Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 4300C]) at libusb:001:002 # A USB device was detected. This program can't be sure if it's really # a scanner. If it is your scanner, it may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can'= t be # detected by this program. I need help and I am new in all that Linux scanner stories . Thanks to al= l.
