I seem to be having a few problems getting SANE and my HP ScanJet 2100C to work with one another. THe Sane website states that the scanner has been supported since version 0.45, and well the plustek pt_drv is not the correct module since that is for parallel port use only so in theory it should work, but alas dmesg says:

Code:

hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.0-1, assigned address 6
usb.c: USB device 6 (vend/prod 0x3f0/0x505) is not claimed by any active driver.


Now the thing is that I compiled my usb-scanner support in statically. The best I can figure here is that for some reason the driver is not recognizing that device as being a scanner. I think what I am going to have to do is recompile it is a module and specify the vendorid and productid to use for the device.

I hate recompiling my kernel :P I probably should have just used a module to begin with, but oh well. Has anyone else had any luck with this scanner model?

If not, when I am done I will post the results when I manage to figure out how to get this thing to work.

Code:
modprobe scanner
that's one part (if you don't have it hard in the kernel, which is rather useless), after that, you may need to tweak some SANE conf file in /etc/sane.d.
Good luck!
