Scanner Question...
THANKS to all who guided me to the "bin86" package for compiling my
kernel. It seems to have worked... for the most part.
I have three more questions and I hope you'll have the patience to
respond:
1) I recompiled the kernel for generic SCSI support (for my HP Scanjet
5p scanner). During bootup, it now seems to get detected:
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi : 1 host.
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Vendor: IBM Model:
DORS-32160W Rev: WA6A
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Type:
Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0,
id 0, lun 0
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Vendor: HP Model:
C5110A Rev: 3638
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Type:
Processor ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Detected scsi generic sg1 at scsi0, channel
0, id 5, lun 0
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi0: Target 0: Queue Depth 28, Wide
Synchronous at 20.0 MB/sec, offset 15
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi0: Target 5: Queue Depth 3,
Asynchronous
Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi : detected 2 SCSI generics 1 SCSI disk
total.
But when I look in /dev/, I don't see an "sg1" (and it's useless to have
/dev/scanner symlinked to a nonexistent "sg1"). What's going on here?
Consequently, when I run "scanimage", I get "no SANE devices found".
And when I run "find-scanner", nothing happens. Even "xscanimage"
returns "no devices available". Any ideas?
Thanks !!
