Thanks for you answer I think the problem is the old backend, that came with RedHat 9.0 as default. The version was: 1.0.9-5 Amd the newest is 1.0.12, so maybe it is that Can i just install the new backend, and nothing else? regards Christoffer On Sat Jun 28, 2003 at 03:23:08PM +0200 or thereabouts, Christoffer Holm Kj?lb?k wrote: > Hey > > I have a Canon LiDe30, wich shuold be supported by sane > > And if I run sane-find-scanner, it finds the scanner at /dev/usb/scanner0 > > But, Xsane says, that there is no devices available, why? > > Kind regards - and thanks in adance > Christoffer Kjølbæk > > _______________________________________________ > Sane-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.mostang.com/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Greetings! Well, I have the same scanner and I use Gentoo. The first time I installed gentoo, I couldn't get the scanner to work right away. The problem is the sane-backend. Do you know what version of sane you have. What does scanimage -L show? If it doesn't show anything and your scanner is found by the kernel, then the problem lies with sane's backend. If you upgrade to the latest version of the sane-backend, it should solve the problem. What I did was to download the backend from the website and follow the directions for unpacking and installing. I installed right over the backend that was installed by gentoo. It worked for me. Now, here is something strange. I had to reinstall gentoo and before I upgraded the sane-backend, I tried xsane and it worked. Who knows why? Well, if you upgrade your sane-backend, it should solve the problem.
