It has been a while since I had to fight with a scanner and things have changed a great deal since then, ie udev and hal arrived and are on the way out.
Anyway, neither xsane or skanlite can detect it. Any pointers?
The obvious question, are you a member of the scanner group?
I told you it was a while since I had had to fight with a scanner.
I added myself to scanner and the scanner was detected (my last scanner was an all in one and attached to the group lp), when I sent the command to acquire preview and also scan the scanner arm gave a little lurch and then just stopped. Still at least the computer and the scanner are talking, just not the same language yet.
It is the plustek.conf file that I need (I think) I have found the man-page and will have a read. Probably have to do it on Sunday as I have to move the pigs, do some planting in the poly-tunnel and brew some bio-diesel tomorrow.
