[sane-devel] problems getting xsane to read from Nikon Coolscan V

[Steve Kelem]

I am trying to use xsane with my Nikon Coolscan V ED scanner on Opensuse
11.0, Linux 2.6.25.11-0.1-default.

When I run xsane as a user, I get:

    No devices available.

When I run xsane as root, xsane runs, will preview what's in the
scanner, but if I press Scan, the scanner motor hums for a split second
and then xsane issues the error:

    Error during read: Error during device I/O.

I read http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux, and have the following
info:


        scanimage -L

scanimage -L reports:

    device `coolscan2:usb:libusb:002:007' is a Nikon    LS-50 ED        
    film scanner

for both user and root.


        /proc/bus/usb

There is nothing in /proc/bus/usb.


        sane-find-scanner

Reports:

    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b0 [Nikon], product=0x4001 [LS-50 ED])
    at libusb:002:007


        libusb

I'm running libusb-0.1.12-110.1
/etc/udev/rules.d contains 55-libsane.rules, which contains the
following lines:

    # Nikon LS 50 ED | Nikon Coolscan V ED
    SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4001", MODE="0664",
    GROUP="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

So, the default group is "lp", not "scanner".


        hotplug

/etc/hotplug does not exist, and "locate" cannot find libsane.usermap or
libusbscanner.


        Versions:
