In the SANE Backends list it is mentioned as<br>unsupported as well as untested, so it is a bit unclear what the status<br>is. However, some experiences with the device:<br><br>System:<br>UBUNTU<br>Version 10.04<br>Kernel Linux 2.6.32-39-generic<br>Gnome 2.30.2<br><br>Toshiba Sattelite Pro<br><br><br>There are actually two problems, one is, that SANE can only be started<br>as root, that makes it a bit difficult to test the scanner. As far as I<br>have understood there must be a file which permission I have to change,<br>but I do not know which file and to what permission. So the first steps<br>to make scanjet 2400 working were under SANE started as root. What came<br>out of the bash you can see in attachment
bash.txt<br><br>Although the scanner has been recognized it will not work, a message<br>like "Cannot start scanner, invalid argument" appears. I have also<br>attached a screen shot of the file manager about SANE directory and the<br>files contained in it. Now help!<br><br>Actually I had also problems with this scanner under Windows, they got<br>solved with XP service pack 2.<br><br>Jochen<br><br><br></div></div></body></html>
