I did all of this on 20050306. I have a HP Scanjet 5370C (Avision). Compiled and installed libusb-0.1.10a, sane-backends-1.0.15 and sane-frontends-1.0.13. All were release versions. For sane-backends I used avision.c, avision.h, avision.conf, sanei_usb.c and sanei_usb.h from http://svn.exactcode.de/sane-avision/trunk/. In everything I used <./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc. (Except maybe I didn't set sysconfdir for libusb--could this be the problem?)
In xscanimage and xsane, I get "garbage" in the preview window when I select "Acquire Preview." I also noticed that in all cases the scanner light comes on, travels a very small distance and then turns off. The scanner sounds normal. I sure would appreciate any ideas on this. By the way, I also am having problems with permissions. The scanner is not recognized unless I am "root." I have /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner with "ugo=x". I noticed that the arguments are commented: #Arguments: #................... #ACTION=[add|remove] #DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD #TYPE=usb Aditionally, these lines are also commented: # if [ "$ACTION" = "add" -a "$TYPE" = "usb" ]; then # chown root:scanner "$DEVICE" # chmod 0660 "$DEVICE" #fi I'm running a Mandrake version of the 2.6.8.1 kernel. Do I need to uncomment these lines. Before I installed the new sane and libusb I didn't have a permission problem--I had others <BG> Once again I will appreciate any and all help. Thanks, Dan
