I installed sane-1.0.10 and avision-2003-02-08-1127-sane-1.0.10.patch on my Redhat 8.0 system, and modified /etc/sane.d/hp.conf to contain:
scsi HP /dev/scanner /dev/usb/scanner0 option connect-device Changing /dev/scanner to link to /dev/usb/scanner0 did not work, so I changed it back to the Redhat 8.0 default: -> /dev/sgf After I rebooted, scanimage worked, but produced a negative image. I installed xsane-0.84-8.i386.rpm, but it looked for libraries in /usr/lib while 1.0.10 had put them in /usr/local/lib. I put links in /usr/lib to resolve this. xsane worked, but also produced negative images. I was thrashing around trying to get sane working before I found out about the patch, and I may have changed something and forgot to record the change. It looks like I need a tutorial that describes how to pruduce plain black and white images. Where could I find one?
