I didn`t see it; just looked like linker archives. scanimage --list-devices came up with nothing; should have a -v (verbose option?) The scsi interface is the ahc seems it's go thru a scsi pass thru driver /dev/pass[0123]. The /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf indicated /dev/scanner should be used. It didn't exist. The scanner is a HP ScanJet 3P (C2570A) and should be supported. dmesg shows: pass1 being the HP Desktop Video 3.60 (A Video CAM) pass2 being the HP C2570A 3430 (Hmmm, not quit a 3406, I wonder if that's the problem). I'm getting some scsi IDENTIFY problems something isn't answering IDENTIFY cmds. Makeing a symbolic pointer from /dev/scanner to /dev/pass2 (or /dev/pass1) didn't change the scanimage --list-devices (still no output). I think my problem is likley that neither device is supported. Seems it would have been nice if it was a bit more verbose about this; something like "HP C2570A 3430" isn't supported. I wonder if a small tweek on the HP backend to recognize the 3406 and the 3430 as a ScanJet 3P would fix this. Tried scanimage -d /dev/pass[012] and it comes back with Invalid Arguement. So it seems the /dev/scanner isn't being used. So what is going on with the HP congfig file. Seems this really could be more communitive when the -v (--verbose) option is provided. Perhaps Dave Obrien is right about this interface needing cleanup. -piet To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
