I am trying to set up a HP Scanjet 2200c on gentoo (kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r9) I have been all over the web for two days and have tried to follow many how tos, but with no luck.
I can access and use the scanner with root, but not with any users. I know this is a common problem, but I can not find the solution. lsusb: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:0605 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 2200c sane-find-scanner -v: ...scsi stuff... .... searching for USB scanners: checking /dev/usb/scanner... failed to open (Invalid argument) ....same for rest of /dev/* ..... found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0605 [HP ScanJet 2200C], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:005 scanimage -L (as root) device `plustek:libusb:001:005' is a Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 2200c USB flatbed scanner scanimage -L (as user) doesn't find anything plustek.conf [usb] 0x03f0 0x0605 device auto I added to /etc/udev/10-udev.rules # scanner devices scanner:root:scanner:0660 usb/scanner*:root:scanner:0660 Anybody point me to a good how to or have a solution? I have already done the http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_USB_Scanner with no luck. -- Michael Irons michael |at| beckonsmeby |dot| com http://www.beckonsmeby.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

After turning those on, I see errors like [sanei_usb] sanei_usb_open: libusb complained: usb_set_configuration(SetConfiguration): device not opened for exclusive access which led me to find the following in README.darwin: Backends that use the function "fork" may not work at least with USB scanners. That's a limitation of MacOS X (doesn't use file descriptors for USB access). Most backends have been modified to use threads on MacOS X and should work. Others don't use fork at all. Both types of backends should work with MacOS X. Changing the backends to use threads is an ongoing effort. Can someone confirm that this is really a problem for epsons on MacOSX?
