So i was trying to setup my scanner(HP scanjet 5300c usb) with debian
sarge kernel 2.6.8-2-386. I did googling and edited avision.conf file
in /etc/sane.d and execute sane-find-scanner as root. It detects it.
But when i scanimage -L or xsane at command line(also as root) scanner
can't be found. <br>
<br>
mutuski:~#sane-find-scanner<br>
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0701) at libusb:001:002<br>
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by<br>
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.<br>
<br>
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.<br>
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports<br>
# can't be detected by this program.<br>
<br>
mutuski:~#scanimage -L<br>
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,<br>
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the<br>
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation<br>
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).<br>
<br>
Then I did:<br>
mutuski:~# export SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=255<br>
mutuski:~#scanimage -L<br>
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of avision to 255.<br>

Hmmmm....why is it unable to open libusb:001:002? Does anyone why it is
acting strange? For information the output of some commands are given

I'm using libsane 1.0.15-9 and avision.conf backend. Thanks for your time.<br>
