Cannot setup scanner with 2.6 kernel
 

Hi! I'm trying to set up hp scanjet 5300c on debian sarge 2.6 kernel but it isn't working with xsane.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

DstructO,

Have the same HP 5300 scanner, but haven't set it up with my new install yet. (Sarge with 2.6.8 kernel)

BUT, if it helps, I plugged it in and just did a quickie lsusb and got this:

:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:0701 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300c/5370c
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:0040 Microcrap Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

So apparently it sees it o.k. Keep me posted how things work out, I'm curious.

Same thing here. lsusb lists the device well. But xsane says no device found. I used libusb
and hotplug but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Hi

I have the same problem with a canon scanner
I can get it to work with Xsane by unplugging the usb cable from the scanner then reconnecting it
Xsane then picks it up.
This problem occurred after an apt-get dist-upgrade

Sls

I think it's a kernel issue. I had 2.4 kernel and same scanner worked fine there but when i changed to kernel 2.6 it is showing problem.

O.K., finally had a chance to try it out. Got my HP5300 working fine. Works better than it did under Windows in fact. Usual disclaimer, not sure if it will work for everyone else, but here's what I did:

I'm running the latest stable release of Sarge using the 2.6.8 kernel, and have hotplug 0.0.20040329-22 and libusb 2:0.1.10a-14.

I installed XSane using Synaptic (or use apt-get, or whatever apt flavor you prefer....)

While logged in as root, I ran sane-find-scanner in the console and got:
[COLOR=royal blue]
# 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 SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett Packard], product=0x0701 [Hewlett Packard ScanJet 5300C/5370C ]) at libusb:001:003
# 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.
[/COLOR]

Then I ran scanimage -L in the console and got:
[COLOR=royal blue]
device `avision:libusb:001:003' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300C flatbed scanner
[/COLOR]

While logged in as root, I went over to the /etc/group file and found this line:
[COLOR=royal blue]
scanner:x:105:
[/COLOR]
And changed this line to read:
[COLOR=royal blue]
scanner:x:105:mike[/COLOR] (replace my username with whatever user name you login with)

Save the /etc/group file and log out, and log back in as a regular user, start XSane, and everything should work o.k.

By the way, if someone could e-mail me their /etc/sane.d/avision.conf file, I'd appreciate it.

scanner issues

getting error:

trying to install hp5300c on fedora-core 3

scanimage -L doesnt find the device,
but
sane-fine-scanner does:

ideas?

Shade00,

It looks like the hardware part is working pretty much o.k. if sane-find-scanner finds it o.k., and reports back correctly.

I guess for starters, try to log in as root and do sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L from there. Let me know your results after you try that.

Also, thanks for the link to avision.conf

Well I was silently following this thread because I didn't know how to get my scanner workin either. At first I was having the same isuues as you all then I found this thread.http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...5&pagenumber=1

I only got as far as the first few lines then went to make sure I had the hpijs and hpoj drivers installed along with libsane. It turns out that I didn't have hpoj installed. After that all was good.

Using a OfficeJet 6110 all in one print/scan/fax.

Maybe that thread can help you guys out. And hope it is as easy for you as it was for me.

With the stand-alone scanners like the 5300, you shouldn't need hpijs or hplip, etc. Just a working USB connection, and an application like XSane. I don't have any of the specialized HP packages installed, and mine works like a charm. I think you only run into issues and need them if you're using one of the all-in-one multifunction print/scan/copy machines.

Ok cool. Thanks JetJock.

Have the same problem
 

Hi I posted a help request

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=355830

please help

I *vaguely* recall that with the 2.6 kernels, the manner in which SANE accesses the scanner changed - no longer uses /dev/usbscanner or similar, but uses libusb instead? Or something along those lines...
