Ok, I did a fresh OS install and removed the existing sane packages and then installed 1.0.19 using the example configure options you showed me. Now I do have epjitsu.conf in my sane.d directory. However, now when I have the scanner connected to the system and I run sane-find-scanner it doesn't find it at all. I made sure I have libusb installed and also have copied the firmware file to the detailed directory in the conf file. However, the firmware file is slightly different. On my windows machine that I extracted the file from, the file is named 300_0C00.nal rather than 300_0A00.nal. I am going to search again to see if i can find the other file. Anything else you can think of I may have done wrong or miss let me know. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/epjitsu-backend-for-a-Scansnap-S300-tp16809076p16825207.html Sent from the SANE - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
