need help with lexmark x73 usb scanner in redhat 9 using xsane
I am using redhat 9.0, the printer/scanner combo is called a lexmark x73. The printer is now currently working fine. The scanner is not however. I recently installed the latest sane backend which contained the gt68xx driver which supposably supports the x73 flatbed scanner. When I type $sane-find-scanner :
# 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=0x043d, product=0x002d) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x043d, product=0x002d) at libusb:001:004 found USB scanner (vendor=0x0545, product=0x810a) 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. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be # detected by this program. # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary. typing scanimage -L produces: device `gt68xx:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Lexmark X73 flatbed scanner when i type scanimage the scanner does a complete scan, however i have no idea where that image goes. xsane does not recognize the scanner even though scanimage does. typing xsane gt68xx:/dev/usb/scanner0 does not work. I"m at a loss could someone please help. thanks Forrest Koch wannabe unix geek :newbie: |
I had the same problem until I just copied this c:/windows/OSLO3071b2.usb from my windows partition and put it in /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/ and start the scanner module with
rmmod scanner; modprobe scanner vendor=0x55f product=0x21c then open Xsane and you are ready to go If you need the file just mail me and I'll send it to you. |
i guess i never looked properly...ive been trying to get my scanner to work since forever! thanx!
