Well detected and easy to use. Plug and Play except for a little permission problem in suse.

Suse won't let the scanner device be used by a normal user so you have to launch xsane or kooka as root. Since the device names change every reboot I wrote this little script to fix it and launch kooka:

Quote:
#!/bin/bash

# suscan

#This script will detect the usb scanner, set proper
#permissions for it and start kooka

#requirements: kooka

DEV1=` sane-find-scanner | grep libusb | cut -d ":" -f 2`

#for testing purposes
#echo $DEV1
#echo $DEV2

#set permission to proper /dev section
sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/$DEV1/$DEV2

#Start kooka
kooka

exit;

Added my username to group "scanner" and reloggedin.

Then xsane scanned and found it.

Not sure which usb modules are required but my custom built kernel must have them.

Works fine, but is a cheap little thing, both in price and build. Buy two!

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.20
Distribution: Ubuntu Feisty


This and other USB scanners do not work in Ubuntu Feisty except with the command line "scanimage". A recompile with USB_SUSPEND=n apparently fixes it.

@ blazerte

Or installing scanbuttond and then entering in a cli scanbuttond -r 1000000

You can then shut the cli and it will carry on working... BUT.. on reboot you have to enter that line again.

I gave up trying to make an autoexec for it !!
