find-scanner: yes... scanimage: no
I posted in the Ubuntu forum regarding a problem with an HP Scanjet G4010 scanner, but now I have a specific question. The scanner is reported with lsusb and recognized by sane-find-scanner, but scanimage -L does not find the scanner.
My question is: What would be the cause of the scanner being reported in lsusb and sane-find-scanner but not recognized by scanimage -L? TIA. |
Does the scanner report it's name correctly?
Code:
scanimage --test See Code:
man scanimage |
hello rl5,
it is essential as which user you executed the sane-find-scanner and the scanimage command. If both works for root but not for a normal user (or only sane-find-scanner for a normal user) you'll have to add the users to the adequate groups, e.g. the group scanner. If scanimage -L doesn't even work for root you'll have to post more informations. Markus |

Well, please check if dbus is running.
Code:
ps -e | grep dbus |

Well, I'd recommend to try "scanimage -L" instead, as root. If this is without a result, I think there is an issue with the driver. Have you used the scanner before with another distribution or with another version of Ubuntu or another kernel?
EDIT: Mh, doesn't look good http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/...model=&bus=usb maybe your device isn't supported by Linux. Markus |

Well, this looks interesting.
Did the mentioned manpage for sane-genesys help you? Check your system for the requirements in the manpage (e.g. libusb version higher than 0.1.6) Edit the /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf file. Check the mentioned environment variables. Refering to that manpage I think there are chances to get it work. Good luck. Markus |
