Hi, It's amazing that no one ever writes about something that was a succes to= a=20 mailing list, but i'm affraid i have to confirm to this standard ;-))
I'm working with Linux Suse 8.1 and sane 1.0.8-47 on a PC. My scanner is a Epson Perfection 1260 (USB). I installed one in a seperate office, no problem. Took me 5 minutes and w= ith=20 Gimp and XSane it was working like a charm! Then i started installing in this office (same software, same scanner), a= nd I=20 cannot get it to work. I tried to exchange scanners and cables, both of them are working fine in= the=20 other office. I tried to install the latest release of sane, but it needs GLIBC2_3, and= i=20 cannot install that (inpossible to find a compiled version, try to compil= e=20 myself, but the library does not work - after 2 days i gave up on that). So i went back to the mentioned version. The scanner is recognized by the= =20 system. As soon as i put the cable in it appears on my desktop, it seems = to=20 be ok, when i make a hardware scan it's found, KDE say's it's just fine. But if i try to start Xsane (or do the test during Yast installation) it = just=20 hangs! Nothing happens. I tried to start "xsane /dev/usb/scanner0", but t= hen=20 it comes back with an error 5 and dumps core. For your info: I've tried to connect other USB equipment (a camera) to th= e USB=20 port and that works just fine. It must be something in the software, but i cannot figure it out. Please can anyone give me a tip what to do ? Thanks in advance. Steven
