Someone at the last installfest gave me a USB scanner but I have not been able to get it working. I have never worked with any scanner before. I am running Mandrake 9.1 & I installed SANE. I've read all the man pages and searched the web but I can't figure out why it does not work. - When I turn on the scanner, I get an Xsane icon on my desktop. - The Mandrake control center, ScannerDrake sees the scanner. - SANE supports the scanner. - The device gets created: $ ll /dev/usb total 0 crw-rw---- 1 rick usb 180, 48 Dec 31 1969 scanner0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 tts/ - When I try to use Xsane, it says: "Failed to open device 'snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0': Invalid argument" - scanimage is similarly unhappy: $ scanimage [snapscan] download_firmware: No firmware entry found in config file snapscan.conf. scanimage: open of device snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0 failed: Invalid argument I can't figure out what argument it is talking about? -- Eric (Rick) Meyerhoff rick at eworld3.net 952-929-1659 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
