i'm having trouble getting my scanner working in gentoo. it was working fine with slackware using libsane. first, i have to get sane-find-scanner to see it.

the result of the following two commands seems inconsistant. why does sane-find-scanner not see my scanner, yet it's listed in /proc?

Code:

$ 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.

  # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have installed a
  # kernel scanner module.

  # 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.

Have you edited /etc/sane.d/epson.conf to enable the usb option? - Also for >2.6.3 kernels you'll need to use libusb because kernel scanner support has been removed.

Do a search there's something in here about it all somewhere.....

i think i'm having this problem because i'm using udev. the reason sane-find-scanner is failing is because there are no scanner device nodes.

i had sane working with devfs and libusb before. has anyone gotten sane to work with udev and libusb?

thanks

Yes - it does all work with udev and libusb.

I do remember though having to make some tweaks to get it working - they are documented somewhere is these forums, but the gist of it is....

1: Create /etc/hotplug/usb/scanner

Code:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] && [ -f "${DEVICE}" ]
then
  chown root "${DEVICE}"
  chgrp scanner "${DEVICE}"
  chmod 660 "${DEVICE}"
fi


2: Add...

Code:

scanner          0x0003 0x04b8 0x010c 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0


to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, replacing 0x04b8 0x010c with the correct vendor/product id's for your scanner

thanks

Code:
$ 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.
  # Also you need support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your operating system.
  # If using Linux, try "modprobe sg".

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010c [Perfection640  ]) at libusb:001:009
found USB scanner (vendor=0x0403, product=0x6001, chip=GT-6816?) at libusb:001:008
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # 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

$ scanimage -L

Also...

What have you got in your USE flags?

If you haven't got usb in there, you'll need to add it and re-emerge sane-backends
