Quoting Colin Rose's post here --- The problem is that somehow a typo is introduced in the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. If you get the error 'no devices found' then edit the above file and change the word 'SnapScan' to 'snapscan' and it should work. I may be way off here but I seem to recall reading somewhere that this can affect scanners other than snapscans. -- http://www.poogle.co.uk Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Ok, soo i reopend the part where it says it was installing, and waited it out. It asked me for the first installation disk, soo I popped it inand soon later it said my scanner wasnt supported in this version of mandrake >=/ so there goes that. And for the camera, I believe I did find something about it, but I need more understanding of it =/ I know nothing about that. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] scanner problems
Well, I reinstalled linux again without much problems at all. Soo I've got everything down. All I really need to worry about is my digital camera and scanner (or my usb in general. But i'm not worrying about that). Soo what the problem is, I suppose linux knows that I have a scanner (since theres a file on my desktop linking to it) but it cant seem to load it at all. 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? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
