I am trying to use my HP ScanJet 2300c with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.
I get
$ sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0901 [hp scanjet
scanner], chip=GL646_HP) at libusb:001:020
but when I try "scanimage", I get the motor stick: it vibrates for about thirty
seconds, without moving the lamp, and then I must power down the scanner.
Sometimes it seems to attempt a scan, but freezes at the end of the scan
(making its awful noise).
What can I try? I read some old post (~2006) but nothing works. I downloaded
the backend CVS version, fixing some of the c code of the genesis backend
(changing the y-offset from -2 to 0 millimeters), but nothing.
(It's strange, on the sane website the hp2300c is said to be *completely*
supported.)
Thank you in advance.
