Hi there, I am still missing something here. 1) dmesg says uscanner0: Color FlatbedScanner 13, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2 2) in my sanpscan.conf I have... firmware /usr/local/etc/sane.d/u96v121.bin /dev/uscanner0 .. <scsi stuff> usb:/dev/uscanner0 .. usb 0x04a5 0x1a2a .. Then, I try to do sane-find-scanner # Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected # to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal # Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners # that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that # is connected to a parallel or proprietary port. sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0 # `UNKNOWN vendor and product' means that there seems to be a scanner # at this device file but the vendor and product ids couldn't be # identified. Currently identification only works with Linux versions # >= 2.4.8. If the current identification only works with Linux, what is the next step? xscanimage /dev/uscanner0 reports fail to open /dev/uscanner0: invalid argument TIA On Saturday 03 Aug > > I have an Epson rather than AcerScan, so I can't experiment, but sane > usually requires that a .conf file in /usr/local/etc/sane.d be modified > to point to your scanner.
