USB Scanner


Can Anyone help? I have Epson Scanner. It does detect but I can not scan. here is what I get
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
# Also you need support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your operating system.
# If using Linux, try "modprobe sg".

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0119 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:005
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

# Not checking for parallel port scanners.

# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.


Where do I go from here? I don't know how to create the device. xsane pukes when I run it..

Than you.

try ls -l /dev/video0

see what the device node is.

usbscanner is usually like this:
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 48 Jan 10 07:56 /dev/usb/scanner
the important part here is the 180, 48 but see if your /dev/video0 is using the settings.

when i do scanimage -L i get:
device `hpaio:/usb/psc_1300_series' is a hp psc_1300_series multi-function peripheral

not sure why it would see device:'v4l'

It does not have the node. I think I need to create it; don't I? after I create it,(I hope I can ) how do I make sure scanimage will pick or use the correct one?

Lightbulb I had this exact same problem

... except I had an HP PSC-1410 that was being overridden by my v4l bttv-card, and in Slackware.

I've spent the past nine hours pitzing around in /etc/sane.d/. Running the command
# ptal-init setup
completely fixed it for me.

Unfortunately, this is part of hpoj, and probably won't help you.

I think my problem is video0 or something of that nature. For now I will DOZE it in Win. I have not had much success. I read somewhere that the scanner I have is not supported yet but they are working on it.
