Hello,
Newbie question re: installation of a usb scanner:
I have not been able to get my scanner to work on my 'puter running RH 8.0.
When I run xsane, I get a "no device available" error message.
The following is some of the info. I generated as I attempted to get my
scanner to work:
[root@localhost root]# lsmod | grep scanner
scanner 10420 0 (unused)
usbcore 77056 1 [printer usbnet scanner audio hid usb-uhci
usb-ohci]
[root@localhost root]# modprobe scanner
[root@localhost root]# modprobe usb-ohci
[root@localhost root]# mount /proc/bus/usb
mount: usbdevfs already mounted or /proc/bus/usb busy
mount: according to mtab, usbdevfs is already mounted on /proc/bus/usb
[root@localhost root]# 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 (vendor = 0x04b8, product = 0x0104) at
device /dev/usb/scanner0
Please note that I do have a four port usb card installed in one of the PCI
slots.

D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=05e3 ProdID=0502 Rev= 1.80
What would you recommend I do next? It seems that the puter recognizes the
scanner at a certain level. But the Scanning software doesn't at this
point? Something to do with permissions perhaps?
I'd appreciate any help/info. you could provide.
Many thanks,
Bill Martinez
