I get it. I've been replying to the sender instead of sane-devl.. > So what do you want to achieve? What doesn't work when you do what > I told you? What did you do until now? What scanner do you use? Which > operating system? Which version of SANE? I can answer a few of your questions. I use Visioneer OneTouch 5800 on a Mandrake 9.1 operating system. I have a scanner0 at /dev/usb I believe I hace an unsupported scanner. sane-find-scanner found USB scanner vendor=0x04a7 (Visioneer) and product=0x0226 (Model 5800). I have inserted these into /etc/modules.conf. > With supported scanners and recent Linux distributions your USB scanner should just work out-of-the-box. Since I don't have that luxury, I have to choose to write a SANE driver for Visioneer 5800 or try to use a generic libusb driver. I don't know how to do either one of these, so I must call for HELP!
