 |
|
I've got an Epson Perfection 636U. From what webpages are telling me, it's fully supported... but with more research people with the same scanner are saying that the libusb upgrade broke the support. When I do sane-find-scanner, it gives me
| Code: | | found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0101 [Perfection636]) at libusb:004:002 |
scanimage -L spits out
| Code: | | device `epson:libusb:004:002' is a Epson Perfection636 flatbed scanner |
Okay... great. Now that I know that my scanner actually exists, I go to try xsane. After about a minute or so of (supposedly) detecting the scanner, I try to aquire a preview. After waiting about 45 seconds or so, an error message pops up:
| Code: | | Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O. |
Wonderful. So, the scanner exists but apparently it's incapable of communicating anything useful. I've tried all of these steps both as root and non-root.
System information: kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r6
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
512 MB DDR RAM
Gentoo
Can someone help me out here? |

I figured out what the problem was... sort of.
After reemerging xsane, root was able to scan images. Under a non-root user, xsane says that no device exists. I think I can figure it out, though. |
