Hi all, I know this isn't exactly Gimp stuff - but I am trying to access my new USB scanner through the Gimp: File -> Acquire -> Xsane: Device dialog and I figured that lots of you guys must have already set up a USB scanner :-) Anyway, I've done a lot of google-ing but so far have been unable to find out how to set it up. When I re-booted the system (I installed a new sound card - SBLive [which I'm still trying to get working]) the usb modules loaded ok and I have an entry /dev/usb/scanner0 (-rw-rw-rw-). However, when I try to access it from within the Gimp (or thru Xsane), I get an error message that no devices are available.
I did do a 'sane-find-scanner -v' and got the following: sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usb/scanner0... open ok, vendor and product ids were identified sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04a5, product = 0x20b0) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 Do I have to mount the scanner first- if so what do I put in /etc/fstab? Or is it that I have to make the system think that it is a scsi device? Any pointers welcome :-) Blessings, Nigel I AM Bible Studies and Resources http://www.i-amfaithweb.net Messianic E-Cards.com http://www.messianicecards.com OliveRoot Ministries http://www.oliveroot.net _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
