Perhaps this will give us a clue, what is going on.
I get no output, unless it's writing some log file somewhere I don't know about. Apparently, the rpm I installed does not have debugging enabled. (And this is the one I can't recompile. :( ) [root@mofo xsane]# ( export SANEI_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=255; export SANE_DEBUG_HP=255; scanimage -d hp:/dev/sg3 | xloadimage stdin ) scanimage: open of device hp:/dev/sg3 failed: Invalid argument stdin: unknown or unsupported image type [root@mofo xsane]# sane-find-scanner found SCSI processor "HP C2520A 3644" at /dev/sg3 found SCSI processor "HP C2520A 3644" at /dev/sgd # Your SCSI scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by SANE. Try # scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have installed a # kernel scanner module. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be # detected by this program.
