Linux scanner support is through SANE, see their site at 
http://www.sane-project.org/ for lists of supported scanners.  Your scanner 
is listed as having Good support (but not complete).

Mandrake has ScannerDrake as part of the Mandrake Control Centre (MCC), on 
menu under System/Configuration/Configure your Computer.  This will detect 
and configure your scanner, if supported, and install some software to use.

Software to use are XSane (Gtk app, full featured, but GUI is a bit 
difficult), Kooka (KDE app, simplified GUI misses some features, has weird 
photo management add-on), or QuiteInsane (QT app, full featured, basically 
XSane for QT, no longer actively developed).

Hi David,
Welcome to Linux.
Are you having any difficulties with your current scanner setup ?
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.

  You Might want to install xsane from the software installation section of 
Configure Your Computer, generally  known as Mandrake control center.
Personally I like it MUCH better than kooka and it has detected every Epson 
scanner that I have tried with it

the epson website 
http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html
there is everything you need to know how to get your scanner 
working under linux inc "iscan"  linux version for download
which i use with my 1650 scanner now

keep everything "in house" as apposed to software.. but i like iscan 
other software that also works well is "vuescan" 
if .. you still need help... just shout .. but not too loud ;-)

If you're running KDE try Kooka. The Kooka program (or Mandrake itself,
I'm not sure) should autodetect your scanner...

You can always run from menu System>Configuration/Mandrake Control
Center and there in Hardware you should find some means to configure
your scanner...

Best to address that question to the sane help website list , just 
google for it.
They are quite helpfull generally.

I would be tempted to try some of the other models by the same

under another model.

Hi Debbie,
This is just a guess but you might find it will work with Vuescan.  My Canon would not 
work with sane but runs properly with Vuescan. You will need to download and install 
it.

Do you have the module 'scanner' in your /etc/modules file?  For reasons 
beyond me Mandrake recognizes the that it is a scanner, but insists that it 
can not be configured through the scanner device tool.  I guess only the 
scanner device tool adds the 'scanner' entry.

Xsane found the printer/scanner just fine after I added it.  You'll either 
need to reboot, or 'modprobe scanner'.

You'll find a little more information on the TWiki.  Anne can point you to 
the correct link if you can't find it ;)

Good.  The problem with such things is that probably the only way to 
find if something exists is to use the full text search box.  Could 
you try that, using whatever search terms you think a user might 
attempt, to see whether the required page is amongst the ones 
returned?

I got it - I had my SCSI chain wrong. The syntax should be like this (as 
root):

echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 5 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

Do a "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" to verify that you device shows up there now.

Now, to make it even easier, go to your root directory and edit .bashrc and 
add the following:

#Alias for a post boot SCSI scanner startup
alias startscan='echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 5 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi'

I used startscan but you could use whatever your imagination dictates.

Oh, don't forget to run "bash" in a shell to reflect the changes if your 
command doesn't show up right away. Otherwise, it will show up the next time 
you bootup.

Thanks to both of you (Charlie and Anne) for helping! :-)

What happens if you turn it on and run harddrake from the MCC or harddrake2 
from a terminal? Have you tried just turning it on and running (as su) 
ldconfig?

I'm sure there is a simple way to do it D.L. but since I don't have any SCSI 
devices here to play with I'm probably talking through my hat.As usual. (-;

as a learning exercise, but it has gotten way tooo easy with the 9.x
series.


Ahh,,, where is Till when _I_ need him.

I have been following this thread since I have an acer (Benq or prisa)
U340 scanner that worked good when I first installed 9.1 and 9.0, but
required some tweaking under ver 8.2,8.1 and 8.0, and would not work
with a 2.2 series kernel. it also uses the snapscan backend. and my
problems are the same symptoms after reading this I got to thinking
maybe one of my sane (front or back ends) might not be installed, so I
urpmi sane-backends, (everything installed), urpmi sane-frontends
downloaded and installed, (damn go figure) so I start up the icon on the
desktop for my scanner, about 5 mins (not an exagaration on a dual cpu
p3 1g) goes by, and it gives me the choice to choose between my tv card
and the usb scanner, choosing the scanner just gives me an error about 
invalid argument.

running; [EMAIL PROTECTED] et]# sane-find-scanner

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make
sure that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

ok this looks normal to me, so I try scanimage -L (long hang more than 2
min)

scanimage -L

device `snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner13 flatbed

ok looks good

I wonder where to try next.

I'm struggling now, assuming the following:-
you are using ..
sane-frontends version 1.0.10 -1mdk 
sane-backends version 1.0.11 -5mdk 
xsane version 0.90 -2mdk 
which come with 9.1
and that you have snape50.bin in your path and executable by you
and that sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L correctly find your scanner
it should work, this model is reported to work correctly.
Have you checked that you have permissions set to allow you 
access to group usb ? Have you tried to access it as root - TAKE CARE !
Finally a last desperate shot in the dark, is it really a model e50 or is it a 
newer variation that might not be supported - the e50 has been around for a 
while and may have been upgraded ?

Again the output is as you described above. No surprises there. It seems
that whatever I do, my scanner is recognized, but that somehow
Scannerdrake fails to add it to the list of configured scanners. Every
time I try again, it doesn't find any configured scanners, only new
ones.

Also I noticed that when I boot my machine, configuring the scanner and
starting Xsane performs at a normal speed. When I try again, it takes
much more time. It seems to me the hardware detection takes much longer.
Is this an indication of something familiar?

O.K.
Make sure that your snape50.bin is executable 

Now from the command line type   sane-find-scanner

within the output from this you should see these lines (I've taken mine and 
put the id numbers for the e50 usb in) 

found USB scanner (vendor=0x06bd, product=0x208f) at /dev/usb/scanner0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x06bd, product=0x208f) at libusb:002:002

Now assuming you see this again from the command line type scanimage -L
and you should get this:-
device `snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN flatbed scanner

If you don't get all or any of these results post your output here.

When I do  cat /proc/bus/usb/devices I get exactly that, except for the
ProdID that is different from yours e26. My ProdID 0x208f is similar to
that shown on http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/ so that part seems to be
in order.

Referring to http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/, you may or may not need the 
edit /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf in respect of the firmware, but if you do you 
have edited it correctly.
Next do   cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
and you should get something like this :-

Well, at least it's easy to reverse   It still sounds like a

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

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

I'm running Mandrake 9 with the Sane 1.0.9 rpm installed
1st, uninstall sane's rpm. then follow the instructions at

be sure to backup Makefile after compiling!

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.

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.

...ok...hmmm...you should be able to "mount" the camera as an actual
"file system"...there was talk of this a week back - so you might want
to dig through the messages and find the one pertaining to the USB
camera...

...now with SANE/XSANE - this is strange. It appears to have already
detected the scanner, but ain't doin' a thing now...what about when you
reboot - are the modules loading - or does the scanner "re-appear" ?

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 call it in a terminal, and it brings up a user agreement, and I 
agree to it. Then a error window pops up saying it cant detect any devices 
whatsoever.

Hola, Gandhi. 

MDK xsane, and all related stuff (for UMAX Astra, and compatibles) are 
broken. Justo go to http://umax1220p.sourceforge.net/ and follow 
instructions. Works fine here.

I have umax astra 2000P. I installed using control center/hardware. Still I 
can't use my scanner. I get error no device found with xsane. What to do?
in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
# enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network:
#net
umax_pp
I edited line in umax_pp.conf file also for port. Initially it was

Since it is a parallel port scanner attached to lp1, I used as follows
port 0x378
Even after restarting linux, xsane couldn't find scan device. What to do?

Well if it is not able to install all  the SANE RPMs then of course it will 
not capture images. You may have a bad update source defined.
Take a look at the sources in Mandrake ControlCentre>Software>SoftwareSources
Try replacing your update source with this one .
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS

You might also like to install the libsane, sane-backends, xsane and 
xsane-gimp RPMS from the software manager instead of letting scannerdrake do 
it.  

BTW: Which version of mandrake are we talking about here? Its just that I have 
looked at the update list for 9.0, and I cannot see anything in there for 
scanners, so I am wondering what it is trying to download.

Re: [newbie] Scanner probs

I usually try to scan images in XSane, but XSane can't capture any imaging
devices what soever. And when I click the configuration for my scanner, it's
says it's downloading packages to install the driver, but it just kreezes up
( and sometimes crashes KDE)

Did you run the 'scanner' installation GUI from Mandrake Control Centre? If so 
then it will install the driver for the HP3300c which is supported in 
Mandrake 9.0, but not in 8.2

Also how are you trying to scan images? You should either be running Kooka or 
XSane  If they are not in your Kmenu>Multimedia>Graphics menu then you need 
to install the RPMs for them.

As for the camera. I do not have one of those, and the gphoto2 project does 
not list it( http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/proj/libgphoto2/support.php  ) so 
it may not be supported. Many people get around this issue by using a cheap 
Flash card reader to read their camera images.

Re: [newbie] Scanner Epson Perfection 1240U

[s]

Well, let me give you some info that was given me.  It was given for a 610u 
and I have the 1200u, so I only had to change the product number.  You can 
maybe find yours at the sane site.  Mine for the 1200u is 0x0104.

"Have you already done the following?
1) mknod /dev/subscanner0 c 180 48
chmod 666 /dev/usbscanner0
2) Install sane & xsane
3) Edit /etc/sane.d/epson.conf to match your configuration (the only
uncommented line has to be "usb /dev/usbscanner0" without quotes)
4) You have to have usb working
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-uhci
5) insmod scanner vendor=0x04b8 product= 0x0103  # Note: 0x0103 is Perfection
610 (mine)  ;)

Hope that helps.

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.

Re: Re: [newbie] Scanner

[Jim Dawson]

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.

If you do want to give them a try, both have demo versions 
available. Win4Lin is available at www.netraverse.com, 
vmware at www.vmware.com.

Re: [newbie] Scanner

[Mark Lucas]

It's a parallel port scanner and the SANE website says that there it is
unlikely ever to be supported.

Win4Lin or vmware sound like they might do the trick though. I have no
requirement to access the scanner from Linux only from the Windows machines.

How do Win4Lin and vmware work and where do I get them?

Re: [newbie] Scanner

[Jim Dawson]

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.

Very strange. I have a Mustek SCSI scanner too, and when I fire up xscanimage,
it is recognized without a problem.

Don't you get any response from the scanner? Does Sane not recognize it at
all? What happens (or doesn't)?

I tried in VAIN for a long time to get that SCSI card to work.  Eventually
got an Adaptec 1515 on ebay for 5 bux, and never looked back once.
While i've heard it's possible, unless your a glutton for punishment, and have

  Sorry.  I've only recently come by a scanner.  It's one of the
Silitek's not supported either by sane or W2k (though the driver
for W2k supposed makes it so -- no such luck).  I'll be getting
another from my father soon which is supported by sane, anyway.

  As for suites, I can only say that I've seen mention in this &
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list of a few, but I can't say I remember
their names.

  Have you tried first, DrakeConf?  I've never heard of this
manufacturer, but if it's there, you're set.  Second would be to
check the Linux &/or sane hardware compatibility docs.

  Like the last scanner question, there are two possibilities.

  Keep in mind though, 1. parallel scanners are slow, & 2. even
if you can find no listing of compatibility, you may be able to
get, at least, ~some~ of the capabilities (particularly the
ability to ~at least~ scan) with drivers for other hardware.  A
scanner is like most any other piece of hardware -- if one driver
doesn't work, there may be another.

  Man, a few months ago I was looking all over for one of those,
but the scsi version was nowhere to be found except on e-bay, & I
missed out on them.

> How can installed ???

  Anyway, at the time I was looking for one, I was running RedHat
6.0.  So, I don't know for a fact that setting it up under
DrakeConf will make it work, but there are drivers for it in
sane -- the Linux scanner drivers.  I don't have a scanner on my
lm7.2, but I just did a locate for sane, & it's installed.

  Try through DrakeConf first.  If it won't work, turn to the

You'll need to go on a hunt for it, but I know there is a plugin for Gimp

Usually you just need to fire up xscanimage. That will look for a scsi
card and a scsi scanner. It identified my simple mustek-600 without a
problem.
Did you already try that?

As Dennis the original already said, go with SCSI. May be a bit more
pricey because of the SCSI card, but oh so good.
I have a Mustek-600. Works fine. I pulled Sane out of the RPM and things
went perfect.

If the SCANNER connects to the Paralell port, it's a Paralell
scanner. Period. No M$ tricks can make it into a SCSI scanner.
According to Microtek, the X6 comesx in three versions:
USB, EPP (Paralell) and SCSI. If your scanner came with a proprietary
card, then it's SCSI. If it plugs into your printer port it's
paralell. If it plugs into the USB port, it's probably not supported
yet. There is only "beta" support in current release versions of
Linux for USB. The URL for the info on the Scanmaker X6 is

John,

The sane-mustek.5 notes say:  "The only non-SCSI scanner that has some
support at this point is the 600 11N scanner which comes with its own
parallel port adapter (i.e., it does not attach to the printer port)." 
I guess "some support"= not very much since I can't find the files
needed.  She who must be obeyed says it's my present scanner or nothing!

Thanks.

Paralell is not generally supported under Linux for scanners. I've
seen ONE post that has indicated that there is limited support for
paralell port scanners under Linux.
You'd have a LOT better luck getting a SCSI scanner (although those
can be hard to find these days!)

Sorry, John, parallel.  How's this from the SANE-mustek.5 notes:  "Note
that this scanner comes with its own ISA card that implements a funky
parallel port (in other words the scanner is not connected to the
printer parallel port.  The code present in this release has not been
tested so proceed at your own risk!  Be prepared to pull the scanner
cable on short notice in case the situation grows dangerous and/or
noisy."  Talk about a beta release.  Maybe that's why I can't find any
files.  Anyway, I'm prepared to have a go if I can find a way.  Another
reason not to use Windoze.

Regards.

I also have parallel port scanner and it is also the only reason I have
to muck about with windows

Re: [newbie] scanner

[Linda and Mike]

I checked on the SANE site for my scanner.  Of course, it is not listed.  I
have a Mustek 1200II EP.  It is on its own parallel port and not through the
printer.  I read all the Mustek scanners on the list.  They were mostly all
SCSI.  I read that the 600 something was partially supported IF it is hooked up
to its own parallel port.

Re: [newbie] scanner

[Lyndon Lininger Sr.]

I think from my reading that there was only one parallel scanner supported
and it had it's own interface card. It's not a true parallel scanner. But
that was the only one. I have to maintain a winblos box for this reason,
too. For it and my credit card terminal software. Otherwise I'ld get rid of
winblos altogether.

I thought so too, although somewhere I read that parallel were supported.
Probably my mistake.
Thanks for the input.

SANE does not support any parallel port scanners. I have one too and its the main
reason why I can't remove Windows from my system.

I have one of those also, and according to the supported hardware lists. It
is not on any of them. It looks like about the only scanners supported so
far are scsi.
