This is about HP scanjet 2400 (the "C" is omitted on the scanner and the installation CD ?). In the SANE Backends list it is mentioned as unsupported as well as untested, so it is a bit unclear what the status is. However, some experiences with the device:
System: UBUNTU Version 10.04 Kernel Linux 2.6.32-39-generic Gnome 2.30.2 Toshiba Sattelite Pro There are actually two problems, one is, that SANE can only be started as root, that makes it a bit difficult to test the scanner. As far as I have understood there must be a file which permission I have to change, but I do not know which file and to what permission. So the first steps to make scanjet 2400 working were under SANE started as root. What came out of the bash you can see in attachment bash.txt Although the scanner has been recognized it will not work, a message like "Cannot start scanner, invalid argument" appears. I have also attached a screen shot of the file manager about SANE directory and the files contained in it. Now help! Actually I had also problems with this scanner under Windows, they got solved with XP service pack 2. Jochen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
