Hello, I'm really not sure if this is even possible, but I thought I'd throw it out and see if anybody had any ideas. I have a Red Hat 7.1 box, and i recently purchased an Hp ScanJet 2200c. This is a USB scanner. It's not critical I get this to work, a Windows machine on my network could act as scanner server, but it'd be nice. So anyway, here's what we have so far. First I tried the "Plug it in and maybe Kudzu will recongnise it and all will be well" theory. No dice. On restart, there was no sign the scanner was even noticed. An attemot to Xsane fails with "no scanner detected". I wasn't all that surprised, so I went out on the web to find out how to make this work. I found that there is little info on scanners in Linux, Less on USB in Linux, and almost none on USB scanners in Linux.
My first idea was to make sure I had USB scanner support in the kernel, So I downloaded the latest source (2.4.12, may as well upgrade while I was at it), and compiled, making sure to include USB scanner support. Still on reboot, sane does not work. A search of /var/log/messages indicates that the kernel is finding the scannr on boot, and loading scanner.c, but there is nothing in /proc/bus/usb. On a lark I made a sym link between /dev/usb/scanner0 and /dev/scanner (which seems to where Sane looks) still nothing. Pretty much I'm at the end of my "flail around blindly and hope" patience, and the only information I can find onlie is for the install of a USB cannon scanner, and does not seem to work at all on mine. Any suggetions and points toward some sort of inof would be greatly appriciated.
