how to mount a scsi scanner
I'm running Debian (3? Don't know how to tell) with an Agfa snapscan
scanner attached to a scsi card. Provided the scanner is switched on
when I boot the linux box, all is well and Gimp can scan stuff in fine.
I have xsane installed. However, if the scanner is switched off when
the computer is booted, and only switched on when I want to use it (ie
most of the time) Gimp can't see it, and I have to reboot the computer.
I assume the scanner is just a device like any other, so I could mount
it after booting, but can't find out how, hence this email. ls -l
/dev/sg* shows /dev/sg0 through /dev/sg16 but I'm stumped as to how to
actually mount my scanner.
Can anyone guide me?
Thanks in advance.
