<html><head></head><body>Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
first, excuse me for my bad English ...<br>
<br>
Three month ago, I bought a AGFA scanner (SnapScan e20).<br>
Looking in Sane-backend, I saw that it was supported.<br>
<br>
I installed the last version of Sane (1.0.6) and the last backend for the snapscan model.<br>
<br>
*)When I do: #sane-find-scanner -v<br>
the response is<br>
<br>
<i><b>...<br>
sane-find-scanner: searching for USB scanners:<br>
sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usb/scanner... failed to open (status 4)<br>
sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usb/scanner0... open ok, vendor and product ids were identified<br>
sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x06bd, product = 0x2091) at device /dev/usb/scanner0<br>
...<br>
</b></i><br>
Ok, the vendor and the product id are correctly found.<br>
<br>
*)When I do: scanimage -d snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0<br>
the response is<br>
<b><br>
<i>[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 255.<br>
[snapscan] sane_snapscan_init<br>

[snapscan] sane_snapscan_exit</i><br>
</b><br>
It say that the device "/dev/usb/scanner0" is not in current device list ??????<br>
<br>
*)My snapscan.conf file looks like:<br>
<i><b><br>
# If not automatically found from above, then you may manually specify<br>
# a device name.<br>
<br>
# For USB devices, make sure that the name contains 'usb' somewhere, as in<br>
# '/dev/usbscanner' or '/dev/usb/scanner0'. Do not use a link<br>
# from /dev/scanner to your USB device.<br>
# For SCSI, use the generic device (e.g. /dev/sg0 in Linux).<br>
<br>
#/dev/sg0<br>
#/dev/usbscanner<br>
#/proc/bus/usb/devices<br>
/dev/usb/scanner0<br>
<br>
<br>
# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if<br>
# firmware upload is needed by the scanner<br>
firmware /home/philippe/Snape20.bin<br>
#agfafirm -v /dev/ubs/scanner0 /home/philippe/Snape20.bin<br>
<br>
</b></i>*)Is it mandatory to upload the firmware with <i><b>agfafirm</b></i> if I use the last SANE version ???,<br>
<br>
*)Once, when I done: scanimage <i><b>/dev/usb/scanner0</b></i> , the scanner
has moved and a lot of strange characteres appered on the screen. It was
not impossible to read the prompt after. I had to close the console !!!<br>
<br>
*)If /dev/usb/scanner0 is my device, what have to be the permission of scanimage, /dev/usb/scanner0, ...<br>
<br>
*)With usbview, I saw the scanner.<br>
<br>
My distrib is Mandrake 8.0<br>
Kernel 2.4.16<br>
<br>
If someone can show me the good way, it would be very nice.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
