Hi
I need help in configuring in order for me to use my Epson AL-CX11 scanner in linux. Im not using any UI(X11,KDE,Gnome) since Im using Linux server which is all console based and im trying to setup my print and scanning server anyways I installed sane-backends-1.0.17 and my scanner is already found when issuing sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L . But when I try to issue scanimage command in console the scanner doesnft scan anything, displays the log as Tryin to write 2 bytes Wanted 2 bytes, wrote 2 bytes Tryin to read 4 bytes Read returned EOF scanimage: sane_start: End of file reached and freezes up the device, Thus causing the problem gDevice or resource busyh. I need to turn the device off-on. Ive searched all over the net for this problem and people suggested to modify/update something in ohci.c but when I look at the source for the kernel the file ohci.c doesnft exists but lots of ohci-* files. I need help on the following points; 1) what do I need to fixed this problem? 2) am I on the right track? Is it my usb that is the problem? is my research that points me to modifying usb host drver correct? (ehci,ohci,uhci) 3) where else do I need to look for solutions? Heres my some useful info: Libusb 0.1.12 Sane-backends-1.0.17 Linux kernel 2.6.15 Ubuntu server (but I donft think distro matters) thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After compiling todays CSV snapshot I recognized this error message: *** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lusb. *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have *** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting *** with libusb and none of the candidates passed a file format test *** using a file magic. Last file checked: /bin/libusb-config I installed libusb and my scanner has been found by sane-find-scanner but scanimage -L does not work. Could this be the reason why the scanner could not be found and how can I ensure libusb is found? Regards Matthias
