Hello all First of all, if any replies, please send me a cc as i am not a member of this list.
Secondly, I had Sane working brilliantly under ubuntu 10.04 with the backend version 1.0.16 now, after doing a completely fresh install of 12.04 i really cannot get Sane to work. here are some proofs. scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.24git; backend version 1.0.24 output sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1746 [MP280 series]) at libusb:002:006 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. output sudo scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). Advices from http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux: My /etc/ld.so.conf only contains the line include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf locate libsane.so.1 after sudo updatedb /usr/lib/libsane.so.1 /usr/lib/libsane.so.1.0.24 Yesterday, I had for one moment the scanner working, then I installed Xsane through the command line, which give me a lot options of which I didnot know which one to choose. Since then, no success at all. Anyway, now installing xsane will mean it will downgrade to 1.0.22. If, one day, I will have SANE running, is there a way to install XSane without downgrading? and a last question, quoting from the README.linux "It may help to set a symbolic link /dev/scanner to the respective device if automatic detection does not work." how do I do that? Thanks in advance. Erik.
