Using my hp4215 I did: scanimage -v > hp4215.pnm scanimage: scanning image of size 638x1125 pixels at 24 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring RGB frame scanimage: min/max graylevel value = 0/255 scanimage: read 2153250 bytes in total and then I get the image... everything works. Does this mean most of my configuration files are good?
But if I use hp5300C I get: scanimage -v -x 10 -y 10 > hp5300C.pnm scanimage: scanning image of size 56x59 pixels at 24 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring RGB frame scanimage: received signal 2 scanimage: trying to stop scanner scanimage: min/max graylevel value = 0/255 scanimage: sane_read: Operation was cancelled I made a shorter the scan to make sure the HW was not getting stuck for some mechanical problem. I stopped the scan with ctrl-C Is there a configuration file that only impacts the hp5300C? What is supposed to be the size of this file? How do I get the replacement? ls Hewlett-Packard\:ScanJet5300C.drc -l -rwxrwxrwx 1 patricio patricio 0 2008-10-16 14:15 Hewlett-Packard:ScanJet5300C.dr Patricio On Fri, 2008-10-17 at 06:28 +0000, miguelquiros wrote: > Patricio: > The scanimage reply shows that the device is detected and its permissions are > properly set.
