Hello all<br>
<br>
First of all, if any replies, please send me a cc as i am not a
member of this list.<br>
<br>
<br>
Secondly, I had Sane working brilliantly under ubuntu 10.04 with the
backend version 1.0.16<br>
<br>
now, after doing a completely fresh install of 12.04 i really cannot
get Sane to work. <br>
<br>
here are some proofs.<br>
<br>
scanimage -V<br>
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.24git; backend version 1.0.24<br>
<br>
output<br>
sane-find-scanner <br>
<br>
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If
the<br>
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your<br>
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.<br>
<br>
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different,
make sure that<br>
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.<br>
<br>
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1746 [MP280
series]) at libusb:002:006<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>
output<br>
sudo scanimage -L<br>
<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>
<br>
Advices from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux">http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux</a>:<br>
<br>
My /etc/ld.so.conf<br>
only contains the line <br>
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf<br>
<br>
locate libsane.so.1 after sudo updatedb<br>
/usr/lib/libsane.so.1<br>
/usr/lib/libsane.so.1.0.24<br>
<br>
<br>
Yesterday, I had for one moment the scanner working, then I
installed Xsane through the command line, which give me a lot
options of which I didnot know which one to choose. Since then, no
success at all. Anyway, now installing xsane will mean it will
downgrade to 1.0.22. <br>
<br>
If, one day, I will have SANE running, is there a way to install
XSane without downgrading?<br>
<br>
<br>
and a last question, quoting from the README.linux<br>
<pre><font face="sans-serif">"It may help to set a symbolic link /dev/scanner to the respective device if
automatic detection does not work."
how do I do that?
Thanks in advance.
Erik.
