Haven't tried on FBSD. It needs some binaries provided with the scan and iscan plugins. I got the RPMs and alienated to deb and it gets the Epson Perfection working on a Debian system.

Anyone got an EPSON Perfection V33 scanner working?
hello, world\n so I got an EPSON Perfection V33 scanner, needless to say it works under Win7 with the provided SW on the CD. Needless to say, it's one of those scanners unsupported by SANE according to their list, http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON While it can be probed with # sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0142 [EPSON Perfection V33/V330]) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen3.3 that's about the end of it. A lot of googling turned up that some company named Avasys/Seiko/Epson provides an "Image Scan!" application for Linux, which, strangely enough, also uses some sane-backend. Now before I try to make that pig fly by installing rpms in the Linuxulator, (just to find out that for yet more obscure reason this does't work so easily), has anyone gotten a V33 to successfully scan under FreeBSD?

Wifi Scanner Gnome
Hey, I use multiple wireless networks on a daily basis and they are different each day. Is there a simple gnome wifi scanner that allows me to easily connect my laptop to the available network? I have been looking... This would be very helpful. I want one similar to the one in Ubuntu where it lists available networks. This would be so great. Thanks for any advice.

I added scanbuttond from ports to be safe :), I just copied your
example (not looking that it was customized for epson :(
libscanbtnd-backend_epson.so, but I have removed that and left it as
you have suggested :) I was glad that it worked and I did not notice
that. The good thing is that it* scanner is working and thanks to
your kind example/suggestion.

devd not running?
Starting devd.
devd: devd already running, pid: 801

I have also added myself to the "saned" group:

What else do I need to do?
Thank you for your help & suggestions.

The uscanner device is gone, no longer needed with FreeBSD-8.
devfs.conf hasn't been effective for dynamic devices for me. Copying
the clever technique from sysutils/scanbuttond/pkg-message.in, I use
devd.conf to detect the scanner attach and detach devices and change
permissions and do whatever else is necessary. Scanner users are a

Benq Scanner 5000 works from time to time
Hi all!
I use:
Benq Scanner 5000
sane-backends-1.0.21
FreeBSD 7.4-STABLE
'firmware /home/user/ftp/20F8V119.bin' in snapscan.conf
The problem is scanner works unstable (from time to time). It takes multiple
attepts of 'scanimage > file.ppm' to get the scan. Only 'lsusb' can always see
the scanner while 'sane-find-scanner' and 'scanimage -L' can see it from time
to time.
I've tried changing firmware to 20F8V116.bin, 20F8V114.bin, 20F8V112.bin - the
problem repeats.
The scanner works fine under Windows 7 and Linux (Slax 6.1.2 LiveCD, sane
1.0.20), so the hardware is ok, probably it is OS-related problem. In sane's
[sane-devel] mailing list i got recommendation to ask on some freebsd forums.
All my actions have been tested in 2 cases:
1. with libusb (kernel without 'device uscanner')
2. with uscanner:
(echo 'product ACERP ACERSCAN_5000 0x20f8 Benq 5000' >>
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
echo '{{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_5000 }, 0 },' >>
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/uscanner.c
recompiled kernel with 'device uscanner')
Case1:
Benq 5000 powered on first time:
# lsusb
Bus /dev/usb2 Device /dev/ugen0: ID 04a5:20f8 Acer Peripherals Inc. (now BenQ
Corp.) Benq 5000
sane-find-scanner found the scanner on the fourth attempt:
# sane-find-scanner -q
# sane-find-scanner -q
# sane-find-scanner -q
# sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x20f8 [ FlatbedScanner 22])
at libusb:/dev/usb2:/dev/ugen0
and scanimage found it on the third attempt:
# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. ....
.
.
.
# scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:/dev/usb2:/dev/ugen0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner42
flatbed scanner
after 6 attempts of:
# scanimage --quality-cal=no > image-7.ppm
scanimage: no SANE devices found
we got the scan:
# scanimage --quality-cal=no > image-7.ppm
#
and next:
# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified.
And i have to wait several minutes getting this errors to get the next scan.
Case2:
Benq 5000 powered on first time it is found by sane-find-scanner and scanimage
successfully:
# sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x20f8) at /dev/uscanner0
# scanimage -L
device `snapscan:/dev/uscanner0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner22 flatbed scanner
# scanimage --quality-cal=no > image-1.ppm
[snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 31 seconds.
#
OK. We got the scan.
After 3 minutes:
# scanimage --quality-cal=no > image-2.ppm
hangs forever...
If i kill scanimage and use sane-find-scanner:
# sane-find-scanner -q
# sane-find-scanner -q
.
.
.
i have nothing.
I would be very grateful if anybody points me on the root of this instability.
Thanks for your time!

Any guesses on how large an N would > be needed to provide sufficient motivation? My experience (many, many years) says that the question is something different: How much $$$ do you need to produce (compile) a FreeBSD version??? 300, 500, 5000??? Money talks. If ou make this question to Adobe, they will never hear you, but a small company (Ed) may be he will. As FreeBSD comes out with a new version about a year (or two..) 7.x -> 8.x -> 9.x a version of the sofware needs to be done (compiled) seldom. Let's say the ammount of money that interests Ed is US$5000.00 I am considering this kind of approach, various: 1) collect money in the freebsd community US$10 each you would need only 500 persons 2) Found an org, and using tax reduction program to finance software: here is is possible...

Heh...when I asked Ed about support for 64-bit version of VueScan, his reply was that number of Linux users is so low that he is considering whether to even support the OS. Fortunately, in the meantime, he added 64bit Linux support, but I'm not sure what he would say to add FreeBSD support considering general popularity of Linux vs. BSD. :) Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: CDBF17CA -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: CDBF17CA signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Possibly because the author, Ed Hamrick, has more incentive than people writing free software? He has always been extremely good responding to my questions and requests regarding VueScan which I got originally for my Mac Mini when HP stopped supporting my old ScanJet. FWIW, I have been extremely disappointed with HP's driver support, particularly for older scanners. I had purchased a new ScanJet 5590 in April 2009 which worked fine with VueScan on top of HP's low-end drivers on my PPC Mac Mini running Leopard. When I got a new Macbook Pro in August 2009 running Snow Leopard, HP didn't have drivers for it, and their older drivers didn't work. Their web site said they would have Snow Leopard drivers in September or October of 2009, but they didn't come out until sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2010. For that reason, I will be looking at other hardware vendors the next time I'm in the market for a scanner.

Re: Scanner recommendation
Now that I understand how to get a scanner working, if there are any photographers out there who are using scanners with FreeBSD for negatives or slides I would love to hear a recommendation. I have an Epson V500, but it is unsupported, and the only scanner that I have that is supported is an old HP Scanjet 3970, which is a poor scanner for doing negatives or slides.

There's '/etc/rc.d/devd restart', but it's probably not something to

After the changes in devd.conf the scanner now works as user! It has the
user as owner and saned as group.
Thanks for the help.

Running 'devfs rule show' should show the current active ruleset. Make sure that there is a newline at the end of your 'usb/*' rule!

chmod 0660 /dev/usb/${usb_devaddr}.*
Copied from a post on -current or similar; apologies to the author, who
I've forgotten. I thought this was in the default devd.conf as an
example, but it appears not.
devfs.rules don't apply to devices that are created dynamically after
boot-up. Or I guess they might be if you reload the ruleset with
applyset after the device is created, but devd is a lot more capable.

Kinda negates the usefulness of the thing, I think. After a bit more searching, I see that there's a BlackBerry interface written in Java mentioned on the Microvision web site, but don't know what its capabilities are.

Portaudit will go a long way then. Which version of a plugin is installed is not always available in the file system, some store that in the database.

There's 2 good policies for this kind of thing: - Don't allow any plugins of any kind to be installed via CMS/Gallery software etc. and deal with the complaints - Put them in a seperate jail and make sure client understands he's responsible for getting hacked and loosing hours of work by installing unsafe plugins. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

A new install doesn't have a devfs.rules file. You must create it. What I did to get my scanner and other devices working is the following; - Use pw(8) to create a group named usb, adding my user-id to the group: pw groupadd -n usb -m my_user_id - Write /etc/devfs.rules to give the usb group access: [customruleset=10] add path 'da*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'msdosfs/*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'uscanner*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'usb*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 group usb (The third 'add' line is for the scanner.) - Activate the ruleset in /etc/rc.conf: devfs_system_ruleset="customruleset" - Now either reboot the machine, or restart devfs using '/etc/rc.d/devfs restart' - Then plug in the scanner and switch it on. You should see /dev/uscanner appear with the right permissions. For the scanner to work in sane, you might need to edit its configuration files. You should edit /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf to make it load the genesys backend. (just add a line 'genesys' if not present.)

Hi! Seems that the CanoScan LiDe 90 is one of the scanners built by Canon that are not supported well.

No it isn't. /etc/devfs.conf deals with devices avaiable at boot time - cdrom drives etc devices that are plugged in and unplugged - usb gadgets like scanners :-) - are handled by /etc/devfs.rules So get rid of that entry in /etc/devfs.conf and insert the right thing in /etc/devfs.rules Mine looks like this:- [system=10] add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups ## Glyn added these below add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator add path 'uscanner*' mode 0660 group operator add path 'tap*' mode 0660 group operator You will want to change operator to scanner for your scanner group.

In essence your scanner uses this file to explain the Sane the page
layout and graphics. So it is not a driver!
If I do understand, this seems a close analogue of PPL files in the
printing world, right?
[SNAP]
You meant PPD files? (Of course there is subtitle difference between
CUPS-PPD files and generic PPD files used by LPD).
My hunch is yes but I have not read enough documentation to say yes or
no. I would really like to hear from some Sane developers or
IT professional who works on scanners who will give us more explanation.
So far my understanding is following. The kernel recognizes your
scanning device using the uscanner0 driver and usb daemon as it is
attached to USB.
Sane-backhands and Sane-fronthands is a collection of drivers that speak
scanner language. As a mater of fact it used to be that you need one
driver per application per scanner (like printing in old times) but I
think that one of chef achievements of Sane project is to automatize
writing drivers so that you need to write one driver per application and
then hack it to work on all supported scanners. Firmware is dictionary
which teach sane backhand to speak proprietary language of a particular
scanner. So it is something like this
scanner<---> uscanner0<>sane-backhands<> Xsane
^
|
firmware
I see no reason why should sane-backhands work any different on
amd64.
Now you made clear that these binary blobs consist of data (and not
of a cpu program), I do not see either. I will soon be able to tell :)
Does the generic kernel on for amd64 contains the same drivers as for
i386? Also kernel driver like uscanner and even usb daemon might
be on the different level of the development than in i386 as they really
need to interact to different amd64 kernel.
A kernel developer could easily clarify this for us.
On another hand if you are using amd64 that tells me that you
are running serious production servers so why would you want to attach
a scanner to such machine is not really clear to me.
In fact, I have no serious reason to run amd64 since I use my amd64
computer as a ``user workstation'' and the main benefit from running
amd64 is to manage huge amounts of RAM --- as far as I can tell from
the various docs I have read. My reasons to run amd64 are mainly geeky
or childish :)
I hope you do not have 32 Gb of RAM as my neighbor who is a gamer and
passionately in love with
Windows Vista:-) On another hand those gamers are the reason that I can
go to junk yard and get a
PIII with 512 Mb of RAM and 10Gb Hard-drive for $5. I am a happy camper!
As I said before the handbook is excellent but here is my quick and
dirty step by step how to for scanners.

If this is the case, there is no chance to make the blob work under amd64, is there? Ok, Let me clarify firstly some things. Firmware is a binary file which you extract in this case from the M$ .cab file supplied to you by scanner manufacturer. You place this file on proper file /usr/local/share/sane/snapscan. (So it is different than a kernel module for Wi drivers that you kldload into your kernel) I have never bothered to understand scanning as much as I tried to understand Unix printing but I believe that this file is used by sane to speak proprietary language of your particular scanner. In essence your scanner uses this file to explain the Sane the page layout and graphics. So it is not a driver! I am not sure if there is such thing as Command Scanner Language (you are probably familiar with Command Printer Language) and something equivalent to Postscript language in world of printers. Anyhow, if you are serious about security you should never use any type of binaries supported by hardware vendors. (I sound if I have been using too much OpenBSD lately :-) ) I see no reason why should sane-backhands work any different on amd64. On another hand if you are using amd64 that tells me that you are running serious production servers so why would you want to attach a scanner to such machine is not really clear to me. You may attach a scanner to a workstation running i386 and possibly make scanning available on the local network but never to serious production server. If you need step by step instructions how to install scanner you might contact me via private mail. I am very interested in this kind of technical information, since I do foreplan to buy a scanner. If you really think[1] this discussion would be a nuisance for the list, would you be kind enough to CC me? [1] One can consider that even if the discussion topic does not hit most of its members, it can be useful to contribute here these technical details because they will be archived and could then be referenced in future discussions, searched, etc. As I said before the handbook is excellent but here is my quick and dirty step by step how to for scanners. For the purposes of this how to I will assume that your scanner is attached via USB to your workstation. (You can read the handbook about SCSI scanners) Step 1 Make sure your kernel contains the following (Generic Kernel will contain it!!!) device usb device uhci device ohci device uscanner Step 2 Edit /etc/devfs.conf with the permissions perm ugen* 0666 perm uscanner* 0666 This is of course huge security risk and there are much better ways to give access to sane-backhands and common users to device nodes. Step 3 Reboot the computer Step 4 Type $ scanimage -L as a common user to get a list of detected scanners. You should get something as [pedja@ /usr/home/Pedja]$ scanimage -L device `snapscan:/dev/uscanner0' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner flatbed scanner Step 5 Type $ scanimage -T as a common user to test the installation. You should get something like this if your scanner does not need binary blob. [pedja@ /usr/home/Pedja]$ scanimage -T scanimage: scanning image of size 2552x3507 pixels at 24 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring RGB frame, 8 bits/sample scanimage: reading one scanline, 7656 bytes...

The only thing that is not emphasized enough is that lots of scanners do require firmware (binary blobs) that you have to extract from M$ .cab files. (You will need to use /usr/ports/archievers/cabextract program to do so). You definitely want to look very carefully the list of supported devices http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html before you make a purchase. I do believe that Epson scanners are probably best solutions for Unix/Linux scanning. I use Epson Perfection 1670 and it works like a charm. Unfortunately it does require binary blob which might be something you want to avoid. The another option is to look the list of devices supported by HPLIP drivers. HPLIP drivers enable full functionality of many all-in-one HP products and also HPLIP can unlock some HP flat bad scanners that where problematic in the past. Bottom line is that you have to do your homework. If you need step by step instructions how to install scanner you might contact me via private mail.

I'm running with a GENERIC conf for 6.0-STABLE with usb built-in. As I see it the uscanner device will probe the generic usbdevice and recognize the scanner and create a devfs entry.
