For the most part if you had your scanner connected to your PC during Linux install it configures everything for you. After that just select xsane and away you go, especially for most current epsom scanners. John Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] scanner hookup
Hello I have hooked up a hp psc1210 printer,scanner,copier to mandrake 10. The printer works fine but i have not been able to get the scanner connected. I tried gimp 1.2 with xsane .92 plugin but xsane could not find the scanner. I installed gimp 2.0 but the xsane plugin apparently has not been updated for 2.0.

[newbie] Scanner (SCSI) question
I have a SCSI scanner (it works great - thats why I've not switched to a USB model yet), an Astar Umax 1200s. What I'm trying to figure out is how to get it recognized after bootup if I forget to turn it on. This recommendation came from another thread: -- A common issue with SCSI scanners is what to do when you booted the system while the scanner was turned off? In such a case, the scanner won't be recognized by the kernel and SANE won't be able to access it. Fortunately, Linux provides a simple mechanism to probe a SCSI device on demand. Suppose you have a scanner connected to SCSI bus 2 and the scanner has a SCSI id of 5. When the system is up and running and the scanner is turned on, you can issue the command: echo scsi add-single-device 2 0 5 0 /proc/scsi/scsi and the kernel will probe and recognize your scanner (this needs to be done as root). It's also possible to dynamically remove a SCSI device by using the ``remove-single-device'' command. For details, please refer to to the SCSI-2.4-HOWTO. -- So I tried that, as root, issuing a: echo scsi add-single-device 1 0 5 0 /proc/scsi/scsi because my scanner is dev. #5, and its on SCSI 1. However, cdrecord --scanbus does not recognize it, nor does Xsane. Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions? (this is not essential - but it would be nice to have a way to start it after bootup instead of having to reboot). Thanks all! -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The scanner is a AGFA SnapScan e50, which is listed by SANE as supported. Here is what I did sofar: From the AGFA CD i copied the firmware to a directory in my home. As root I opened file /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf and changed line: #-- General -- # Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if # firmware upload is needed by the scanner firmware /home/marco/drivers/Snape50.bin I left file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf untouched Then I opened Mandrake Control Center - HardDrake where my scanner is listed in the hardware list as SnapScan e50 on port /dev/usb/scanner0 Run config tool - it does not find ant configured scanner, so I do: - Add a scanner manually - Choose my scanner from the list - Choose /dev/usb/scanner0 as Device - Press OK I get a dialog Congratulations! Your AGFA Gevaert NV SnapScan e50 has been configured. You may now scan documents using Xsane ... Quit Scannerdrake. Now, for my curiousity, I go to Scannerdrake directly and not via tha hardwarelist. It doesn't find any configured scanners(?!) Well, I startup Xsane anyway and I get a welcom screen where I can choose the following available devices: -AGFA SNAPSCAN flatbedscanner [snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0] -AGFA SNAPSCAN flatbedscanner [net:localhost:snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0] I pick the first one and press OK. Now the welcom screen freezes and disappears after 4 minutes. (Second pick has same result) Result: still no configured scanner I'm lost here, any suggestions anybody? Thanks. Marco Sounds like a conflict to me. I think you have installed two drivers - one from the Agfa disk and one from the Mandrake install.

[newbie] Scanner Configuration Driving Me (In)Sane
Morning All, Anybody ever managed to configure the HP4200 backend for Sane? If so, I'd appreciate having it explained to me in easy steps. The conf file for the HP4200 backend is blank. I've been to the Sane site but learned nothing useful. Although HardDrake detects my usb scanner, Sane Xsane cannot see it. I've never had any luck with Scanners under Linux - this is the third one I've tried. It's keeping me shackled to Windoze when I really don't want to be.

If you wanted to know, I have a HP ScanJet 3300C, and im running Mandrake 9.0 with KDE 3. The file on my desktop is called 'XSane /dev/usb/scanner0', and when i try to click on it, it opens and says that theres no devices available. Since im a big newbie at linux, I have no clue whatsoever how to fix this. When I try to open my scanner configuration in the control center, it says its downloading something, and freezes up. Can someone please help me with this? What happens if you just open up XSANE without a configuration attached to it - does it detect the scanner, or still freeze up? (BTW, what kinda digi-cam ya gots?) I have a Intel Pocket PC Camera. The little digits on the camera show up soo obviously it can detect that also. And with XSANE, no matter what i do, it wont open.

I have installed the backend, but when I try the frontend I get the following error message: *** The sane-config script installed by SANE could not be found *** If SANE was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the SANE_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to sane-config. ** ERROR: Couldn't find SANE libraries (sane-backends). Possible reasons: - sane-backends isn't installed (install sane-backends before sane-frontends - the SANE header files aren't installed (if you installed SANE as RPM make sure you also included the sane-devel RPM) - the SANE libraries can't be found because /usr/local/lib/ isn't searched by the dynamic linker (see INSTALL for details) I have changed the following line in sane-cofig from prefix=/usr/local to prefix=/usr/local/bin , guessing that this is the environmental variable.

Does anyone know if there's a driver for the UMAX 600P. Unfortunately it is not supported by SANE. Also once installed can I share the scanner of my network (SAMBA/Win98/W2K)? Mark
Re: [newbie] Scanner
Is it a USB, Parallel, or SCSI model? There are SANE drivers for some UMAX Parallel and SCSI models. If it is a USB model, look for a new scanner. It is unlikely that there will ever be SANE drivers because UMAX refuses to release the specifications on its USB models. Even if the scanner is sharable over the network (I've only seen a few high-end scanners that are networkable) you still have the problem of the drivers only working under Windows. If it is a parallel scanner for which there are no Linux drivers, you might be able to use Win4Lin or vmware to access the scanner. I use Win4Lin to access my scanner and it works great. (although I wish I could scan directly into GIMP...) This method might also work with SCSI scanners under vmware but I've never tried it. Does anyone know if there's a driver for the UMAX 600P.

Re: Re: [newbie] Scanner
Win4Lin and vmware allow you to run a 'virtual' windows computer on your Linux box. However it sounds like you want a way to share your scanner with the Windows machines rather than use the scanner on the Linux box, so I don't think either program will work for you.

Re: [newbie] Scanner
If you can share your scanner as a device on a Microsnot network, then you can continue to do so with Win4Lin because it fully supports M$ networks. Miark Win4Lin and vmware allow you to run a 'virtual' windows computer on your Linux box. However it sounds like you want a way to share your scanner with the Windows machines rather than use the scanner on the Linux box, so I don't think either program will work for you.
[newbie] Scanner Blues and Red and Green
Hi all, I have a real problem wih may scanner. The hardware is listed below: P120 Chip with 160Meg Ram, Adaptec SCSI-2 card model AVA-2904 HP5p SCSI scanner. The machine is networked and provides print and scanner services to my home network using Mandrake 8 on each network machine. The scanner is perfectly fine when scanning in grey mode, but fails with an I/O error when attempting color scans. I have included the output from scanimage in test mode and also the dmesg output for the scsi card. The scanning software is SANE 1.0.4 and using the SANE-hp backend. I prefer to use scanimage from the command line so as to incorporate the commands in a batch file for quick scan to file turnaround.

Hi there, I have a Mustek MFS-6000CX SCSI scanner hooked up on my LM 7.2 system which has the following hardware: Pentium 133mhz processor 80mb RAM about a 10mb hard drive (IDE) about a 8mb hard drive (IDE) 24X CDRom 4X4X32 CDRW drive Adaptek SCSI controller IOmega SCSI Zip 100 HP 610CL Deskjet Printer Sony SVGA monitor I/O Magic Video card (8mb) Well, everything works except the Scanner. It is hooked sequentially after the Zip Drive using a 25pin/25pin (as it is referred to as a Mac SCSI cable) to the computer and then another one going to the scanner, where there is a 50pin centronics termination on the device as that I am using the 25pin connection from my Zip drive.

Also, I know the cable works because I tried putting the cable from the computer to the Zip Drive and it works just fine. Can anyone help me? BTW...I dont care if it only can scan at 300dpi but I would love to scan some photos into my system without using my sisters Windows system.

[newbie] Scanner detection in RC1
I just installed the RC1 release - it all went fairly smooth, but I have one problem - my USB scanner was detected as a SCSI device - its an HP Scanjet 5300C - just barely supported by sane, but getting closer. An "unknown" device was detected on my USB ports, so I am guessing that HardDrake found the device, but hasn't identified it correctly. The SCSI port reports the actual model, so it knows its there, but xsane thinks there is no device present. Any suggestions as to what/where I can start looking at to make sure the device is detected correctly ? I want to try and see if I install VMWare for my Windows software that the scanner can be operated that way, but if the device isn't properly recognized, I don't think it will work. Thanks, Philomena
[newbie] Scanner Access
Hi there, I am wondering about using a scanner with Linux. I am using LM 7.0 and someone told me to use the utility called SANE. First off, it is on my SCSI chain (after my zip drive, which IS recognized by Linux). The scanner is one listed in the official list by LM. The ID number is set as 1, my system recognizes something at ID #1, but it doesn't say what it is. This is what it says. Host: scsi 0 Channel: 00 Id:01 Lun: 00 Vendor: Model: $ Type: Sequential-Access Then it lists my Zipdrive and my CDRW with no problems...

[newbie] scanner setup
Let me start by saying that I can follow instructions if I can find them. I can't say how many howtos I have read, but I am still at wits end on setting up a scanner. I have a HP Scanjet 5P. It is attached to Compaq Deskpro (Pentium 200) via Adaptec AD2940U SCSI card. The card was configured by 7.1 as scsi0. SANE was installed when I installed 7.1. 1. I expect I need to define a mount point for the scanner. 2. I expcct I need to link the mount point and scsi0. 3. I need to tell something (SANE or what?) that I want to use the backend for an HP 5P scanner. 4. I need to tell some frontend (scanimage or xscanimage) to use the HP scanner. I know I am asking a lot, but what I need is simple a b c set of instructions such as Mandrake furnished for installing 7.1 Thanks advance for the help. Newbie: William Lott
