Subject: [sane-devel] Attempting HP5200 with parallel port
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0610221646490.4736@Knoppix>
Hello all,
I've tried the USB interface on my HP scanner with 2 different
operating systems, and am thinking the problems I've had are with the USB
aspect of the interface, so I'm trying with parallel. I had the parallel
version going some time ago, but it's been long enough that I've forgotten
exactly what I had to do to make it work.
I'm using an HP 5200 on an eMachines 433 mhz computer with 160 MB
of ram. I have the ppscsi driver installed, but I'm still not getting any
scanning action. It says there's no scanner devices found. Is there
something I should be passing to the --devicename=... option? I tried
google and the man pages, but they don't seem to be telling me anything
useful. I thought perhaps hp:/dev/scanner would work since it showed up
as an example, but it didn't. My original thought was that perhaps I
should use /dev/lp0 since I have it plugged into the parallel port I'd
been using for my printer, but that doesn't work. So which device name
should I be using if any, and/or where should I go to find that info?
Thanks,
Terrence
