I have a Kodak DS 3520 scanner I'm trying to get working with Ubuntu 10.04.
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-KODAK says "Please test!" sane-find-scanner worked with 10.04's included 1.0.20 version of sane-backends, however scanimage -L failed to locate the scanner. I built prevu debs for 10.04 with version 1.0.22 from the current Ubuntu Oneriric release. I was not able to get sane-backends-extras to build. With the new libsane and sane-utils installed scanimage -L now works, but scanimage -T returns an illegal request error (see below). Despite its current refusal to work with Linux, the 3520 is a pretty nice scanner. I'd like to get it working if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this a lost cause? root at ubuntu-scanner:~# dpkg -l | egrep '(libsane | sane-utils)' ii libsane 1.0.22-2ubuntu2~10.04prevu1 API library for scanners ii sane-utils 1.0.22-2ubuntu2~10.04prevu1 API library for scanners -- utilities root at ubuntu-scanner:~# export SANE_DEBUG_KODAK=5 root at ubuntu-scanner:~# sane-find-scanner found SCSI scanner "KODAK DS Scanner 3000 0201" at /dev/sg2 root at ubuntu-scanner:~# scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of kodak to 5.
