[sane-devel] FW: Sus3 7.3, Sane 1.05, HP5300C

[Art Fore]

Hi Rene

Nice website you have. Looks like you have alot to keep you busy.

Your info helped a great deal. Have the modules you mentioned. It looks like
from the log file that the scanner is being checked but cannot find a driver
for it. This is probably because of the avision not being compiled for the
HP5300C. I noticed you have the avision.c and a patch. Being very new to
linux, I do have one more question though. How do you apply the patch and
compile the avision?

PS Spent 9 1/2 years in Germany, most of it near Muenchen. Visited Berlin a
number of times on business. Berlin is my favorite city outside of Muenchen
in Germany. It has been about 17 years since I was in Berlin, guess it has
changed considerable in that amount of time from what I hear.

Hi.

The HP 5300 is an Avision OEM scanner labeled by HP.

This is the Avision backend page:
  http://drocklinux.dyndns.org/rene/avision/index.html

Latest code can be obtained from:
  http://www.rocklinux.org/people/rene/sane/

The HP 5300 does now work with SANE/Avision. I still try to track
problems with the HP 5370 and HP 7400 - and with the
color-calibration.

To use the scanner you need the the HP53xx support in the kernel - or
as module. The module will be called "hpusbscsi".

Make sure your USB subsystem is working and you have SCSI generic
support and hpusbscsi.

It is called hpusbscsi. The HP53xx support you allready found.

This is the right one.

The best is to use the latest code - mentioned above.

As usual, the linux kernel doesn't care whether you have it as module
or in the kernel. But when you have modules make sure they are loaded
"modprobe hpusbscsi". The scsi generic module is called "sg".

You also need support for the USB-Controler. Wether OHCI or UHCI.

For a test compile all into the kernel. Do not foget OHCI or UHCI
support (for the system controler).

You should get somthing like this in your system log or on the screen
(I do not know SuSE ...):

usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe1960000, IRQ 10
usb-ohci.c: usb-00:02.3, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (#2)
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 3 ports detected
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:02.2
PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:0f.0
usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe1962000, IRQ 5
usb-ohci.c: usb-00:02.2, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 3 ports detected

Sorry for the short answer - but currently I'm in a hurry ...
