Hi,
I'm trying to get a ix500 work on my pc with ubuntu 14.04 freshly installed;
the scanner is attached through usb cable to a usb2 port (my pc has only
usb2 ports)
when the usb cable is first connected (or the scanner is switched on), dmesg
reports
usb 2-6: new high-speed USB device number 6
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
ouch! you're so right
SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=5 scanimage -L
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of fujitsu to 5.
[fujitsu] sane_init: fujitsu backend 1.0.111, from sane-backends 1.0.23
[fujitsu] sane_get_devices: config option buffer-size (262144) is 65536,
warning!
I don't understand, how can it
Thanks!! Before changing /etc/ld.so.conf I try simplest methods, e.g.
1) change name of /usr/lib/sane to /usr/lib/sane_OLDVERSION hoping that it
is sufficient to remove them from dynamical linking, but it did'nt work
(wonder why...)
2) prepend LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib to the executable;
Ok, for the record (maybe useful for other people), in ubuntu udev is
controlling usb devices mounting
I've created the new file
/etc/udev/rules.d/40_fujitsu_scanner.rules
which contains the line
SUBSYSTEM==usb, ENV{DEVTYPE}==usb_device, ATTR{idVendor}==04c5,
ATTR{idProduct}==132b, MODE:=666
