Greetings! I'm trying to get a hp5470c usb scanner working under kernel 2.6.1. I've installed sane-backends-1.0.11, and hp5400 (apparently) successfully.
sane-find-scanner returns this output: # 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=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x1105 [HP Scanjet 5400C Series]) at libusb:001:003 # A USB device was detected. This program can't be sure if it's really # a scanner. If it is your scanner, it may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be # detected by this program. But scanimage -L returns this output: 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). /etc/sane.d/hp.conf contains the following: # USB-scanners supported by the hp-backend # HP ScanJet 5470C usb 0x03f0 0x1105 # # Uncomment the following if your scanner is connected by USB, # but you are not using libusb # /dev/usb/scanner0 # option connect-device Note that sane-find-scanner reports that libusb will be used, so I've left the last two lines above commented. /usr/local/src/sane/hp5400/hp5400.conf contains the following: # Device filename to use for scanner access # Uncomment the following line if you are using the SANE backend # and want to use the kernel scanner module instead of libusb: # #Linux: #/dev/usbscanner # #FreeBSD/NetBSD: #/dev/uscanner0 Again, I've left the device names commented, since sane-find-scanner seems to indicate that using libusb is the only method that will work. I've also tried this under kernel 2.4.20. Probably because usb scanner support is compiled in, sane-find-scanner finds the scanner at /dev/usb/scanner0. The 2.6.1 kernel does not have usb scanner support compiled in, because xconfig claims that this option is now obsolete. Any suggestions? Jim Jensen
