[sane-devel] BenQ 5000 with sane -- Problems

[Andrew Mofid Botros Boktor]

Hello everybody,

I need some help getting this to work,

I have a BenQ 5000 device, I am using archlinux kernel26 2.6.30.1-1 and
sane 1.0.20-3

I have added the firmware to /usr/share/sane/snapscan/
and added this line "firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/20F8V116.bin"
to /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf

and 
$  scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:002:004' is a Acer FlatbedScanner42 flatbed
scanner

$  lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04a5:20f8 Acer Peripherals Inc. (now BenQ Corp.)
Benq 5000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

$  scanimage (the scanner makes some sound and flashes some light here,
but it doesn't scan anything)
scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O
User defined signal 1

Can anybody provide some help please?

Thank you.
