I am trying to use xsane with my Nikon Coolscan V ED scanner on Opensuse 11.0, Linux 2.6.25.11-0.1-default.
When I run xsane as a user, I get: No devices available. When I run xsane as root, xsane runs, will preview what's in the scanner, but if I press Scan, the scanner motor hums for a split second and then xsane issues the error: Error during read: Error during device I/O. I read http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux, and have the following info: scanimage -L scanimage -L reports: device `coolscan2:usb:libusb:002:007' is a Nikon LS-50 ED film scanner for both user and root. /proc/bus/usb There is nothing in /proc/bus/usb. sane-find-scanner Reports: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b0 [Nikon], product=0x4001 [LS-50 ED]) at libusb:002:007 libusb I'm running libusb-0.1.12-110.1 /etc/udev/rules.d contains 55-libsane.rules, which contains the following lines: # Nikon LS 50 ED | Nikon Coolscan V ED SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4001", MODE="0664", GROUP="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" So, the default group is "lp", not "scanner". hotplug /etc/hotplug does not exist, and "locate" cannot find libsane.usermap or libusbscanner.
