Hi All, How do I configure a scanner for xsane? I am printing to the Canon MG6150, but it is not being recognized as a scanner. Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown
Re: xsane scanner root only
Hello. I have a scanner, HP ScanJet 6200C. Please help me! Try the scanner with this program too: http://sign-el-soft.hu/cgi/ng-xim.en.html and write me the result! (To start the scanner press Alt-Ins, or select the appropriate item from the Editor menu.) Gabor Nagy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

look at the /dev file for the scanner and make sure you are in its group. (you'll have to log out and back in to recognize your new group) Thanks. I had put myself in the scanner group, but had not restarted. Restarting worked. Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
