Hi again folks,
I briefly managed to get my scanner working through Mandrake control centre (first time ever!) - long enough to do a test scan which was successful. However the next time I tried to use it, Xsane could not detect the device. Back into control centre - the scanner was not shown. I set it up manually (it's a Hewlett Packard 4200C) and everything seemed to be OK but when I tried to use it, again no scanners were detected. It worked once, it must be possible to get it going again. Anyone know how?
Cheers
more info required;;;;
what version of MDK?
is it a USB scanner? LPT? scsi?
in /etc/sane.d/ do you have a file "hp4200.conf" and does it have the same settings as reported by 'sane-find-scanner' (as root, in the CLI)
I'm running 9.2.
It's a USB scanner
hp4200.conf reads as follows:
# Options dor the hp4200 backend
# Autodetect the HP4200c usb 0x03f0 0x0105
/dev/usbscanner /dev/usb/scanner0 /dev/scanner
sane-find-scanner brings up the following:
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
# No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have installed a
# kernel scanner module.
# Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be
# detected by this program.
so far as I can tell the USB module is loaded. Wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't.
Cheers,
