Excuse me for entering this question but David is right. I have a Epson Perfection 1650 that works pretty well. The 1250 is really out of question.

Re: [newbie] USB Scanner not seen
I was reading up on this myself. Andy's right in that the 1650 does work, but the 1250 does not because it doesn't use the Epson scanner language like the rest do.

Re: [newbie] USB Scanner not seen
I had similar problems with Mandrake 8.1 and my scanner (Epson Perfection 1200 USB); I had it runing fine in 8.0 but the installation was to be done by hand. After testing the new scanner-drake (you1 need to update drakxtools, ldetect and drakxtools-newt, for example from cooker) and the package recognized my scanner but still it didn't run. After consulting with the scanner-drake author in the mandrake team we thought that the problem was with devs, that it seems is not fully supported in the kernel that came with 8.1; so I dissable devs (I must say that I had also problems with cdroms due to the use of devs) adding in the lilo config append line: devs=nomount; I restarted the system and when I ran scanner-drake the scanner was detected and started to work.

I don't know if this will help, since I don't have a USB scanner, but I do have a USB smart card reader. It shows up under /proc/bus/usb and also as a SCSI device as sda.

RE: [newbie] USB Scanner
no, you will have to update the kernel,, not a big deal, there is a page on the mandrake site that details exactly how to do it, and it works because I did it not too long ago myself... you want to upgrade to 2.2.19 anyway, for security reasons. I once worked for Umax, its great that they are supported. regards Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Derek Rayne Sent: Friday, 18 May 2001 10:33 AM To: Linux Newbie Subject: [newbie] USB Scanner Hi there, I went recently onto the website called www.linux-usb.org in which it tells the devices that are currently supported by Linux that happen to have USB ports. To my delight, my scanner was listed (UMAX Astra 1220U), however it said that I needed kernel version 2.2.19 to operate it. It said I didn't need any drivers for it. I purchased LM 7.2 from the store and it has on there (according to my information) 2.2.17-21mdk version of the kernel. Would that work or do I have to get 2.2.19 or higher to operate it? If I have to get the other version of the kernel and I complile it, do I lose everything that I had here before? I don't want to lose my settings for the soundcard, video and everything else. Also, if I do have to get the new version of the kernel and it won't effect the outcome of my system, can you please tell me how to compile it?

I have a Mustek USB scanner and have had no luck. At the moment I believe the only supported USB hardware are keyboards and mice however I have heard that the new kernal due out this autumn will have greater USB support. So we will have to live in hope at the moment I'm afraid. Andrew
