I am try to use a Canon Lide30 scanner(USB) with Linux RH8.0.
Evidently a rebranded Plustek
I first checked with 'lsusb' and the scanner is recognized.
I then loaded the scanner module and then ran 'sane-find-scanner and it
reported the scanner at /dev/usb/scanner0. However when I started Xsane
it said no scanner device could be found. Trying to correct this I
edited the plustek.conf file-first making a backup copy.. I put in the
VendorID and the Product ID. However when this still resulted in Xsane
saying no device could be found I reverted to the original plustek.conf.
Things have only become worse. Now when I run 'sane-find-scanner I get
the following message.
'scanner.c: open-scanner(0): unable to access minor data'
I get the same message for all 15 usb scanner devices. I assumed it
might be a permissions problem but the same message is returned as root.
Can someone tell me what the problem is.
