USB scanning works nicely nowadays. Would you like to add documentation to it? What I do do scan from the command line with SANE is: a) Fetch (Agfa specific step!) 1212U_2.bin - firmware for my scanner. b) Change configuration in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf: firmware /root/1212U_2.bin # For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g. /dev/uscanner0 bus=usb And then I can do: # scanimage -L device `snapscan:/dev/uscanner0' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 1212U_2 flatbed scanner Note that sane-find-scanner isn't as successful: # sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0 I'm using: # uname -a FreeBSD neta 4.8-STABLE-20030510-JPSNAP FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE-20030510-JPSNAP #0: Sat May 10 01:32:17 GMT 2003 root@tora.jp.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 If I build sane-frontends with WITH_GIMP set, I can also scan directly from gimp without having to configure anything. If anyone needs me for testing USB scanning things, let me know.. Cheers, -- Anders.
