[sane-devel] your-firmwarefile.bin

[Jono]

Hi, I cloned the sane git repo and built it with:

______________________________
$ ./autogen.sh
.
$ ./configure  --with-usb
.
$ make
.
$ sudo make install
.
==================================


When I run scanimage I get:

______________________________
$ scanimage
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
[12:07:32.649792] [snapscan] Cannot open firmware file /usr/local/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.bin.
[12:07:32.649829] [snapscan] Edit the firmware file entry in snapscan.conf.
scanimage: open of device snapscan:libusb:003:013 failed: Invalid argument
==================================

in the file /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf, I see the lines:

______________________________
# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if
# firmware upload is needed by the scanner
firmware /usr/local/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.bin
==================================

My scanner is:

______________________________
$ lsusb
.
.
Bus 003 Device 013: ID 04b8:0121 Seiko Epson Corp. GT-F500/GT-F550 [Perfection 2480/2580 PHOTO]
==================================


Where is the firmware file for my scanner?  Does SANE upload and overwrite the scanner's current firmware?  It should currently work on Windows, so I don't want to brick it.

Cheers!
