Hi All, I recently reinstalled my laptop with Freebsd 8.X from 6.X: FreeBSD trooper.naughton.ca 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Fri Oct 8 17:37:37 EDT 2010 root@trooper.naughton.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Ever since I re-installed I haven't been able to work with my scanner (EPSON perfection 1660 photo) which worked beautiful with 6.X. It seems that /dev/uscanner is no longer used with 8.X and libusb is now being relied on to access usb devices. The weird thing is that I can find the scanner: $ sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x011e [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen3.2 as both user and root without any issues. I can also use the scanner again as user and root by issuing: $ scanimage -d epson --format=tiff > foo.tiff It seems though that scanimage cannot determine the scanner as it has to be specified by the -d epson as if I issue: $ scanimage --format=tiff > foo2.tiff scanimage: no SANE devices found which is also the same result from $ scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). Not sure why scanimage -L can't find it but sane-find-scanner does.. This is the same results for root or user. I would rather work with xsane as I need to increase the resolution of the scan but that fails to find the scanner and thus doesn't work at all. Any ideas?
