scanner not detected
I'm having trouble detecting my scanner (CanoScan FB 320P).
According to the sane documentation this scanner is supported by xsane and its backend can be edited in canon_pp.conf. However, when trying to detect it, i get nothing. Code:
[root@localhost jeremie]# sane-find-scanner Code:
[root@localhost jeremie]# sane-find-scanner -v any suggestions? i'm running Fedora Core 3, i have the latest version of sane, the scanner is properly connected, etc. |
As far as I can tell from Googling, the CanoScan FB 320P is a parallel-port scanner.
In which case, make sure that you don't have a printer driver, or PLIP interface, attached to the same port as the scanner is on (if you have a pass-through port, it will be probably a different device, like /dev/lp1) Also, make sure that the scanner driver is set up as per the instructions; most parallel port scanners cannot be autodetected. |
Update
thanks, just noticed that parallel port scanners are not detected automatically by sane-find-scanner.
I have nothing else connected to the parallel port. The scanner works fine under Windows 98. I have updated the sane-backends which include sane-canon_pp which supports the FB320P. I uncommented the canon_pp line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. In /etc/sane.d/canon_pp.conf, the following are set: Code:
ieee1284 parport0 After all that, when I run xsane, either in my account or as root, nothing is detected. help!!, anyone that got a scanner to work on their parallel port.... |
