(Solved) Re: usb scanner, kernel 2.6.3
First, thanks to all that helpd. Next, a small howto for references: For background, and to know what you are going to do, read /usr/share/doc/libsane/Readme.debian.gz and other Readmes in same directory. In the example that follows /dev/usb/scanner0 is used. You may need scanner1, or 2, ... 1. su (become root) 2. sane-find-scanner 3. Change line in /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap to reflect findings from step 2. 4. It is recommended to add your scanner to /etc/hotplug/blacklist to avoid having it recognized by the kernel. I didn have any blacklist, so next time I boot I may need to do that, lets see. 5. chown root:scanner /dev/usb/scanner0 6. adjust permissions if needed, the user needs to be able to read and write; for example, after adding the username to the scanner group, mine shows up as [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /dev/usb/scanner0 crw-rw-rw-1 root scanner 180, 48 2002-03-14 16:54 /dev/usb/scanner0 It is said to do chmod 0660 /dev/usb/scanner0 in /usr/share/doc/libsane/README.Debian.gz 7. adduser username scanner (add the user to the scanner group) 8. logout from X, get back (to make sure that the new group membership is recorded) and try it. should work now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If I remember correctly: I added scanner to /etc/hotplug/blacklist (When I first configure it the scanner module was still there and I had compiled it with my kernel, it should not be necessary to add it now). Then in /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap I added a line for my scanner like the sample entry provided and replaced and by the values for my Epson 1240U. Lastly, I commented out the 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' line I had added to the /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file and added a new line with simply 'usb' on it.

Any ideas? That's further than I get with the Epson perfection 1660 photo: sane-find-scanner with no arguments doesn't find anything sane-find-scanner -f /proc/bus/usb/001/003 reports: found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /proc/bus/usb/001/003 # Your USB scanner was detected.

But then next time you plug it in it may be on another bus and you'll have to change the configuration. Philippe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
