[sane-devel] RE: help with Canon 650U

Hi,

/dev/usbscanner might be fine, but useless here, when using the libusb,
the backend tries to access the device via procfs.
Is the usbfs mounted?
Make sure to have somethink like
usbfs           /proc/bus/usb   usbfs           noauto 0 0
somewhere in /etc/fstab

Then you should also check the procfs entries, i.e:
sane-find-scanner reports something like:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x220d [CanoScan],
chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:003:002

Then
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices should contain (amongst other stuff):
T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=04a9 ProdID=220d Rev= 1.00
S:  Manufacturer=Canon
S:  Product=CanoScan
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=500mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   1 Ivl=16ms
E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=03(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms

Also /proc/bus/usb/003/002 should exist.
If that is true, at least it should be possible to let scanimage -L
work as root.

usbfs is mounted, procfs is mounted. I already did "cat /proc/bus/usb/device" it
looks just like that. a tad different, but yeah, I don't understand why it isn't
working. I'll give you proof of this on tuesday.

P.S. I haven't tried kicking it, perhaps I should tonight.
