Hi first let me apologise for posting here but I have searched on the net and posted in two Linux user groups all to no avail. I'm running Kubutu 6.06 64 bit using Kernel 26.15.26 and so installed Deb packets from this distribution. I'm trying (very trying at times) to get GIMP to Scan using a Canon 2700F film scanner but neither Gimp nor Kooka see it, They both see the USB flat bed, From the Sane document I know that this scanner is supported by sane canon backend.This scanner shows in KinfoCenter as Below
Attached devices Host scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: CANON Model IX-27015C Rev: 1.15 Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02 And my SCSI shows up correctly. From the documentation in the sane-backends-1.0.16 I found the following which seems to applie. Add the "canon" scanner to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf file: -------- cut here ------------ # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: #net pnm #mustek #hp #qcam #umax canon -------- cut here ------------ Add a "canon.conf" file to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d directory: -------- cut here ------------ scsi CANON -------- cut here ------------ In the Kubutu distro I use there is no /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll, but there is a /etc/sane.d/dll which I assume is the equivalent in this distro. In this directory I have made a file .conf file, cutting and pasting as instructed. There was already a canon conf file in the /etc/sane.d consisting of, #canon conf /dev/scanner #/dev/sg0 and so to this I cut and pasted scsi CANON and have tried it in all possible combinations commenting out lines and removing comments, but cannot get Gimp or Koola to see it even as root. The scanner goes through its calibrate cycle on boot up. The only components of SANE I have installed are the following gimp2.0-quiteinsane libsane python-imaging-sane python2.4-imaging-sane Any help with this would be most wellcome at this point(please save me from the evil empire of windoz) John.
