Paul ': |i have x-sane installed but whenever i attempt to start the program it |cannot detect my scanner. | |its a plustek parallel desktop scanner and is supposed to be supported by |xsane (according to their documentation).. | |unfortunatly i dont see any means to specify the scanner or modigy config |files of any sorts.. | |anyone have an idea? I don't know how much of this translates for your situation (Parallel vs. SCSI, and a diff scanner), but here's what I do when installing SANE for my SCSI Microtek E6 scanner: > /usr/local/etc/sane.d > mkdir ORIG > cp -p microtek.conf ORIG > <edit microtek.conf> and what results: > cat ORIG/microtek.conf # Uncomment following line to disable "real calibration" routines... #norealcal # Uncomment following line to disable "clever precalibration" routines... #noprecal # Using "norealcal" will revert backend to pre-0.11.0 calibration code. scsi * * Scanner /dev/scanner > cat microtek.conf #Uncomment following line to disable "clever precalibration" routines... noprecal scsi * * Scanner /dev/pass1 This is also relevent: > ls -l /dev/pass1 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 31, 1 Feb 25 2001 /dev/pass1 and I am in group "operator" (i.e. sane has write permission to the scanner when running as me).
