Hello, I easily set up my HP Office Jet K60 scanner with kernel 2.4 using fedora core 1 a short while ago.
I have upgraded to fedora core 2A and Kernel 2.6.5-1 kernel, and note that the whole scanner recognition system has changed ..aaargggg....why fix something that was working ??!! >From the vast and contradictory documentation, I think that I am now supposed to use libusb or something. I have looked all over for a coherent explaination of how to set things up with the new libusb method, but can't find anything. The problem is, I keep getting "sucked back" into documents setting things up with kernel modules which I understand is "The old way". The system basically appears to have seen my hardware:- check that the USB hardware is working cat /proc/bus/usb/devices output is as follows for the scanner:- T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=03f0 ProdID=0511 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=Hewlett-Packar S: Product=OfficeJet K60 S: SerialNumber=ES0AVC4090OH C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=00 MxPwr= 2mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=07(print) Sub=01 Prot=03 Driver=usblp E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=82(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=10ms I note from the above that the loaded driver "usblp" is likely to be for a printer ?? In any case, sane cannot see the scanner at all. Therefore, can anyone kindly explain to me in a coherent and step by step kind of way how to get this scanner working ? Maybe I can post the reply on the web some place after as I am sure that this question must be coming up all the time right now. cheers
