[sane-devel] SCSI device running on Darwin
I read in the docs that SANE cannot accommodate Darwin SCSI devices because there are no functions in sanei_scsi to access Darwin generic SCSI devices. Patches are welcome. This was written in the docs of version 1.0.11. Is this still the case? I know on some projects the docs can get behind. If so, is anyone working this issue? Also, suppose I get a USB to SCSI converter. What are the chances that will fix the problem? Anyone attempt this? BTW- I'm running OSX 10.2.4 on an beige g3, trying to install an Epson 1200s. I apologize if this is a duplicate question; the archives are unsearchable and I didn't get the urge to browse them.

Thanks for telling me to use a CVS snapshot (downloaded it on 07 April), but... I cannot seem to get it right... can anybody help? Hardware: Hewlett Packard Scanjet 5300C USB Software: Slackware 8.1 Linux 2.4.18 CVS Snapshot of SANE Modules: -hpusbscsi -usbcore -usb-storage (for my external ZIP drive) -uhci -scanner (with vendor=0x03f0 product=0x0701) Do I have to emulate SCSI? If yes, I think I have (hpusbscsi) attempted to do so. I do not have usb-scsi (I think this version of the kernel does not have it.) BTW, before I installed the CVS snapshot, I had run make uninstall for the 1.0.10 version. sane-find-scanner finds the scanner at /dev/usb/scanner0. scanimage -L finds no scanner. When I unload the generic scanner module, sane-find-scanner does not detect. So sorry to trouble you ppl, but I am new to Linux. How do I configure my avision.conf or hp.conf? What other modules do I need to modprobe... and what other things do I need to do apart from the following: tar xfz del tar ./configure make make install modprobe ;modprobe ;... ;modprobe ;modprobe ; sane-find-scanner scanimage -L *bang the table on seeing undesired results* _ Find gifts, buy online with MSN Shopping. http://shopping.msn.com.sg/

Much better :-) I added 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' to fujitsu.conf, and it works now. I could use scanimage to scan, but I could not use xsane, it prompted 'no device', and did not show the select device dialog, I guess that might be xsane's configuration problem? No. Most probably you installed sane from source code and didn't remove the already existing sane. Please read the sane-devel archive, this is discussed quite often. Another problem is there is a IRQ conflict between fi-4120c and my NIC, I guess the IRQ is between the USB controller and the NIC? here is the error log: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e601 diagnostics:net 0cd8 media 8880 dma 003a. eth0: Interrupt posted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device? This is the error log when I tried to ping another Windows machine I used to be able to ping. Are you sure that this is related to your scanner at all? Does it happen if you use other USB devices? Then I reboot the Linux machine, Redhat automatically removed the NIC configuration, so I lost the network connection to my Windows machine. RedHat removed the NIC configuration because the driver claimed to see an interrupt blocking? Are you sure? Better ask the RedHat support about this. Check the BIOS settings. If automatic configuration of IRQs doesn't work, set them manually so the USB and NIC don't conflict. Maybe it's laso a problem of the APIC support. IIRC correctly, there is a kernel option called noapic or similar. Check google. Bye, Henning

[sane-devel] IRQ conflict between Fujitsu fi-4120c and NIC
scanner does not use an irq, but the usb host adapter built into your motherboard does. at system boot time, the irq assigned to different devices can be changed by the bios. try going into your bios and set 'plugandplay os' to no. that usually helps. if not, try manually setting irqs for different devices in the bios. allan On Sun, 6 Apr 2003, Peter Chen wrote: Hi, I added 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' to fujitsu.conf, and it works now.

At least with Linux this can be improved - even beyond the scanner.c capabilities. usbdevfs has USBDEVFS_SUBMITURB, which allow asynchronous URB submitting, and even seems to allow queueing more than one URB for the same pipe. (The Windows kernel driver for GT68xx seems to use this: the usbsnoop logs shows that it submits 5 URBs at once and then receives the scanned data using them as a buffer ring.) However, this feature is not currently supported by libusb.
