Hi! I'm a newbie working with SANE, so please be patient. I have a Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL scanner. I'm trying to make it work with Linux. I have RedHat9, sane-backends-1.0.12-4, sane-frontends-1.0.11-3, and xsane-0.91-1 installed. lsmod shows that the generic SCSI support is loaded: sg 36524 0 (autoclean) sr_mod 18136 0 (autoclean) ide-scsi 12208 0 scsi_mod 107544 3 [sg sr_mod ide-scsi]
I know ScanMaker 9800XL is not on the list of SANE supported scanners, but when I type "sane-find-scanner" I get: # 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=0x05da, product=0x20de) at libusb:002:002 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. The scanner is connected to the USB port. I don't have a SCSI card. However, when I try "scanimage -L" I get: No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). I searched the sane-devel list and Google for any information related to this scanner working in Linux and I couldn't find anything relevant. Is it possible to get this scanner working with Linux? If so, any help, pointers, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Enrique _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
