[sane-devel] Re: scanner not recognised part II

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

The CD-R shows up as SCSI device because the CD burning software can 
only
work with SCSI devices. You are using the ide2scsi pseudo SCSI adapter 
for
this. As you can see, it does not see the scanner. THis means that it's 
not
a Sane problem, but a problem with the SCSI system (cabling, driver, 
adapter,
termination...). Did you configure your SCSI controller?
