Sorry to interject, but I have a Canon LiDE30 USB that doesn't seem to be supported by sane drivers on the Mac OS X. Can I confirm that idea?
scanimage locks-up the scanner after moving the scan bar about half-way down the page. scanimage -L returns this message: device `plustek:libusb:001:002-04a9-220e-ff-00' is a Canon N1240U/LiDE30 USB flatbed scanner I didn't understand how to read the backend's man page, or if adjusting access permissions was recommended. I don't really know where the backend files might be. /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ contains these lines: #canon.conf /dev/scanner #/dev/sg0 I am new to device drivers and sane, and I haven't gotten any scanner to work with SANE. (An HP device advertised as supported by the Mac OS X backends did seem to go a little further with the scan bar, but never collected an image file that I could open.) You might laugh (or cringe) that I started looking at SANE in order to get a Ricoh IS420 high volume scanner working by converting SCSI-2 signals to firewire. Any advice or confirmation would be greatly appreciated, regards, Doug.
