[sane-devel] Acer ScanPrisa 640U

[Peter Frederikson]

I have a Acer ScanPrisa 640U flatbed scanner
Im running Slackware10 2.4.26  

Im having trouble getting xsane to pic up my scanner ..
when I run xsane I get the start-up dialog and I accept the EULA ..
then a dialog saying;  "failed to detect any device" appears ..

its the same with kooka .. its dead as a dodo ..

I have run through the how-to on http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/
and still im no better off .. these are the commands that I have run
to help me in my quest to get this device active ..

when I run "sane-find-scanner" command I get:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x2060) at /dev/usb/scanner0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x2060 [ FlatbedScanner 13]) 
at libusb:002:002

here is the extracts from snapscan.conf that required a twig at firmware line:

#------------------------------ General -----------------------------------

# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if
# firmware upload is needed by the scanner
#firmware /path/to/your/firmware/file.bin
firmware /dev/usb/scanner0 u96v121.bin

# If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name.

# For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g.
 /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb

# For SCSI scanners specify the generic device, e.g. /dev/sg0 on Linux.
# /dev/sg0

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# No changes should be necessary below this line
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

any ideas are welcome .. :)
