[sane-devel] scanbd with a Canon DR-2010C

[Rien Broekstra]

Hello everyone,

I was directed to this list from the sane irc channel. My apologies if 
this message is off topic:

I'm not getting scanbd 1.2.1 to work with a canon dr-2010c scanner, 
connected to an alix 6f2 board running debian squeeze. Here's what I 
have done so far:

I built scanbd (on a different machine) according to the INSTALL file with
   $ USE_SANE=yes make -e clean all

I copied the resulting binary to the target system in /usr/sbin and the 
configuration file to /etc/scanbd;

...copied scanbd_dbus.conf to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ and restarted dbus

...installed the libconfuse0, libusb-0.1-4, libusb-1.0-0, libsane and 
libudev0 packages (not the -dev packages, since there is no space on the 
target system for the compiler that is installed as a dependency);

...copied canon_dr.conf, saned.conf and dll.conf from the sane 
configuration directory to /etc/scanbd. Added a netmask to 
/etc/scanbd/saned.conf and commented out the net backend in 
/etc/scanbd/dll.conf, and checked that the canon_dr backend was not 
commented out.

Modified scanbd.conf to set SANE_CONFIG_DIR to /etc/scanbd (instead of 
/usr/local/etc/scanbd)

The scanner is recognized by the kernel and by sane:

However, scanbd won't find the scanner:

Any ideas what I might do next to make it find the scanner?

Thanks in advance!
