[sane-devel] Fwd: Why will sane-find-scanner detect my scanner, but scanimage -L won't?

[Mark Drew]

Allan,

Thanks for the fast response, but I'd already done that:

[mark at PotableLinux ~]$ ll /usr/share/sane/epjitsu/
> total 68K
> -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 65K Sep 13 22:06 1300i_0D12.nal


And from my /etc/sane.d/epjitsu.conf:

# Fujitsu S1300i
> firmware /usr/share/sane/epjitsu/1300i_0D12.nal
> usb 0x04c5 0x128d


Can you think of anything else I might be missing?

Thanks!
Mark
