Hello, I suppose you are using hp3900 series backend. This backend is still unstable so it's not already included in SANE project. May be sane-find-scanner finds the device but you haven't installed properly the backend.
If you have installed SANE from sources be sure that you've patched correctly SANE sources to include this backend. Be sure where have you installed SANE project and where are config files installed. SANE project uses by default /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ path. Debian official libsane package uses /etc/sane.d. So if you compile SANE from sources you should compile xsane and xscanimage too. If you install xsane or xscanimage packages in Debian using apt-get, you will be forced to install libsane package. In this case, these frontends will look for config files in /etc/sane.d and won't find hp3900 backend. If you've installed SANE and its frontends using apt-get, the last version of hp3900 backend includes a debian package which adds the backend to the official debian libsane package. You will find this package in: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=150599 file: hp3900-sane_bin_0.4-1_i386.deb Regards, Jonathan Bravo Lopez P.D: I apologize about my english level El Tue, 28 de Feb de 2006, a las 02:30:01PM +0530, Rajasekaran J. dijo: > > hi All, > > I have HP scanjet 4070 photosmart scanner,It works fine in Fedora core > 3 and Debian It detects with "sane-find-scanner" and "scanimage -L" But > xsane or xscanimage not detecting the scanner.I am using with "Libusb" > method because the kernel is 2.6.12-1-p4-smp. > > Rajasekaran > > -- > sane-devel mailing list: [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel > Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" > to [email protected]
