Hi all, Today I set out to buy a scanner. I printed the SANE USB supported pages and headed to Staples with the list in hand, where I found an Epson Perfection 1650.
Arrived home, compiled a new kernel with usb scanner driver, and set out to get it to work. I think I did everything on the SANE docs, and the Epson backend pages, including what's in the little howto for the Perfection 1640. After a while, I got 'scanimage -h -d epson:/dev/usbscanner0' to finally display the available options, indicating that it had talked to the scanner. But when I run xscanimage and ask it to acquire a preview I I get the following errors on /var/log/messages (xscanimage just says it got some bad input or something like that): Feb 27 01:40:22 brasileiro kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 Feb 27 01:40:22 brasileiro kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4b8/0x110) is not claimed by any active driver.

Consult Documentation/usb/scanner.txt. And then I can't do anything else. Anybody has clues or tips for me? Specs: - Linux 2.4.19-pre1-ac1 (had 2.4.17 before, but didn't have scanner driver compiled, so grabbed the newer kernel since I had to recompile) - Sane 1.0.5 - Debian sid - Epson Perfection 1650 Thanks. -Roberto -- +----| http://fslc.usu.edu/ USU Free Software & GNU/Linux Club |------+ Roberto Mello - Computer Science, USU - http://www.brasileiro.net/ http://www.sdl.usu.edu/ - Space Dynamics Lab, Developer A seminar on Time Travel will be held two weeks ago
