HP scanner found but not supported

billymayday · 09-05-2008, 07:45 PM

I downloaded sane (I don't use it), and here's the default genesys.conf

Code:

# genesys.conf: Configuration file for Genesys Logic GL646 and GL841 based scanners

#
# scanners that are not yet supported
# uncomment them only for developpment purpose
#

# UMAX Astra 4500 and Avision iVina 1600
#usb 0x0638 0x0a10

# Hewlett Packard ScanJet 2400c
#usb 0x03f0 0x0a01

# Hewlett Packard ScanJet 3670c
#usb 0x03f0 0x1405

# Plustek OpticPro ST24
#usb 0x07b3 0x0601


#
# supported scanners
#

# Medion MD5345/MD6228/MD6471
usb 0x0461 0x0377

# Hewlett Packard ScanJet 2300c
usb 0x03f0 0x0901

# Canon LiDE 35/40/50
usb 0x04a9 0x2213

# Canon LiDE 60
usb 0x04a9 0x221c

Now, although it's far from clear how well the 2400 will work, you need to uncomment the line

Code:

#usb 0x03f0 0x0a01

so it reads

Code:

usb 0x03f0 0x0a01

(ie delete the "#") and restart sane (I guess "service sane restart")

How's that! - I don't even use sane (actually I do on my play PC, but it's all autoconfigure stuff - I don't touch it)

Anyway, glad I could help.

How come you keep getting repeat posts? I've never seen them from anyone else.

Finger trouble, I guess! (or excitement at success)
