i have just recently gotten a 4120 myself. i am using the scsi port, not=20 the usb. i added some basic support to the fujitsu driver, and it was=20 placed in the cvs copy just a few days ago. so, you must use the latest=20 cvs source of sane to use this scanner. ( i was fortunate enough to follow= =20 behind ron cemer, who did most of the hard work)
the different device numbers should not matter, since the fujitsu driver=20 uses the inquiry command (iirc) and string compairison to determine the=20 model, and both numbers you listed are associated with the 4x20 pair of=20 scanners, which are similar enough to make no difference. it is possible that you may see some color inversion using this scanner,=20 expect a patch in the next few days to address that. btw, i HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend that you upgrade your os to at least=20 redhat 7.3 and apply every errata patch from updates.redhat.com, if you=20 are going to put the machine in question on the net. 7.1 contains many=20 security issues. allan On Sun, 6 Apr 2003, peter chen wrote: > Hi, > =A0 > In order to use Fujitsu fi-4120c, I=A0did the following: > =A0 > 1.
