[sane-devel] Help With HP ScanJet 3C - Getting Started

[Chris Montgomery]

Sorry to ask a newbie question, but I need some help getting my scanner
going under Red Hat 7.1.

I have sane 0.82 and xsane 1.0.3 installed. I did not config my kernel for
the scanner at the time of install, but I would like to do that now. When
I try to start xsane, I get the error "xsane: no devices available." 

I've been all over the Sane web site, read How-to's on
hardware/scsi/kernel, etc., and ended up with a major headache. I guess I
need help with just the basics, configuring my system to use a SCSI
scanner device. The SCSI card is a Symbios Logic SCSI interface card (chip
set Sym53C400A, card # C2502) for my ScanJet 3C.

As you can probably tell, I'm new to Linux. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

TIA,

Chris
