Problem with Canon FS4000US film scanner and VueScan on Wheezy
Hello,
I am trying to find some help for using a (rather old) Canon FS4000US film
scanner with VueScan. Here is my problem : I am running Debian Wheezy (32 bits),
and I have been using the scanner for quite a while under previous Debian
versions. Now VueScan doesn't detect the scanner any more, it says "No scanner
was found attached to your computer". I suppose the problem appeared when I
upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy (I'm not 100% sure since I don't use the scanner
very often, but what else could it be ?)
VueScan works OK with my HP Photosmart b109a printer/scanner, and the Canon
works OK with the Windows version of VueScan ... I didn't find anything useful
in the group archive (or on the Net). Someone suggested that I should try to
find an open source driver, but I could't find one, and that wouldn't explain
why everything worked on Squeeze.
Below are some logs for dmesg and lsusb after starting, stopping, and restarting
the scanner. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jean-François Bosc, France
