The undetected scanner is a Canoscan 2710S, an SCSI slide scanner. It used to function properly with my previous computer (HP-UX). It does not matter whether I run SANE as user or superuser. Regards, Ulrich Deiters -- Prof. Dr. Ulrich K. Deiters __ Insti

Hi all! I subscribed to this list on Henning Meier-Geinitz' suggestion. I have a Canon CanoScan 8400F scanner, which i would like very much to be usable in a Linux environment (I use SUSE 10.1 64bit). I am not a programmer. However, I am willing to test stuff that developers write and could adapt

not an 'API' exactly, but more of a 'convention'. there are a couple of button daemons floating around (one is in the experimental cvs tree) which attempt to read the value of certain named options provided by the backend. so, you would have to make sure your scanner's backend exposes the butt

Much more interesting than this discussion why sane-find-scanner works would be a hint what can be done if scanimage -L does not detect the scanner. I have this problem under Linux with an SCSI scanner (i.e., sane-find-scanner sees it, but scanimage not). Regards, Ulrich Deiters -- Prof. Dr. Ul

sane-find-scanner is a tool for a very specific task, locating possible scanners connected to the system, even if they are not supported by sane. unlike scsi, there is no usb class for scanners, so sane has no generic way of determining if a usb id is a scanner or not. that is why we also recom

Hi, It is not a special case for you. Even if you attach any webcam you will find that sane-find-scanner will show it's USB ID's. What sane-find-scanner does 1)it searches for all attached devices right from scsi devices to usb devices. 2) In case of usb devices sane-find-scanner program calls
