When you use YaST (our default setup tool), it will install the right software packages for your scanner (in this case the package "sane" is sufficient because it includes the snapscan driver). When you select your model from the model list in YaST, a "Firmware upload required" popup message appears which reads: ----------------------------------------------------------------- A firmware file contains software that must be uploaded to the scanner's memory. Without firmware, the scanner cannot work. Because firmware is licensed by the scanner manufacturer, we cannot distribute it. Usually the firmware file is stored somewhere on the manufacturer's CD. Alternatively, it may be possible to download it from the manufacturer's Web site. Ask the manufacturer how to get the firmware file for your particular scanner. Find additional useful information on the SANE Web site at http://www.sane-project.org/. After you get the firmware file, you must configure the driver manually. The man page of the driver describes how to configure it for firmware upload. The following command shows the man page for your driver: man sane-snapscan ----------------------------------------------------------------- The sane-snapscan man page reads: ----------------------------------------------------------------- ... For scanners that need a firmware upload before scanning add a line starting with "firmware" followed by the fully qualified path to your firmware file, e.g. firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/firmware.bin For further details read http://snapscan.sourceforge.net. ----------------------------------------------------------------- On http://snapscan.sourceforge.net you find a table with firmware file names.
