[sane-devel] snapscan e40 (usb) problem

[Jodie Mann]

Hi,

I am having trouble getting my Agfa Snapscan e40 working on my linux 
(SuSE-7.2) machine with sane-1.0.7.

Please help as I have tried every tip so far I have found on the web regardng 
sane and snapscan!

 - When I start xsane it either does not show my scanner (when the pnm 
devices are enabled xsane starts and shows only two pnm devices) or gives the 
error "no device available".

Thanks for any help....

....Rob.

 - when a device is explicitly given:
# xsane snapscan:/dev/usbscanner
I get the error:
'Failed to open device 'snapscan:/dev/usbscanner'; Invalid argument.'

 - I have updated the firmware (snape.bin applied using agfafirm.pl) :
# ./agfafirm.pl -v /dev/usbscanner ./Snape40.bin

 - The scanner light is on (GOOD!) and the device is recognised :
