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. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x2022) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x2022 [ FlatbedScanner 13]) at libusb:001:003 # A USB device was detected.

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. If it were me, I would try getting rid of the stuff from the Agfa disk, then go back to Hardware List and run the config tool again. See if XSane runs it then. Anne 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.
