[sane-devel] DevCom Black Widow 9636 HiRes (SCSI Scanner)

[Simon Munton]

Hi Roger,

It looks like the Blackwidow scanner has had its SCSI vendor and product ID
changed. You can get the artec backend to 'pretend' that a scanner it finds
has a different vendor/product ID - see the sane-artec man page. Basically,
you need to add the following lines to artec.conf just before the device
line that applies to your scanner:

vendor ULTIMA
model AT12

You might want to add the device name that corresponds to your scanner.

Hope this helps

Simon

Tried it, but get "invalid argument" as an error.

find-scanner discovers it as " Flatbed Scanner 3.20" but
scanimage/xscanimage/xsane say there are no scanners!

Many Thanks
