Dear allan, thanks for the quick reply following your advice, I've installed 1.0.24 (after installing libusb-dev package, I've followed standard procedure: ./configure, make and sudo make install, now executables are under /usr/local/bin )
now sane-find-scanner works > /usr/local/bin/sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5, product=0x132b) at libusb:002:007 ------------- and with sudo it works even better: > sudo /usr/local/bin/sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5 [Fujitsu], product=0x132b [ScanSnap iX500]) at libusb:002:007 however sadly > sudo /usr/local/bin/scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you .... (etc. etc.) again the scanner remains stuck with a yellow flashing "half-light" any suggestion? I am concerned about the message received when the scanner is powered on (from dmesg): usb 2-6: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci is it normal "ehci-pci"?? any help is really welcome thanks Andrea -- View this message in context: http://sane.10972.n7.nabble.com/fujitus-scansnap-ix500-not-found-by-sane-find-scanner-tp18666p18675.html Sent from the SANE - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
