[sane-devel] How o make genesys backend make use of symlink via udev-rule?

[Jozef Riha]

well.. on my system scanimage -d /dev/bus/usb/001/007 does not really work
either. it gives:

scanimage: open of device /dev/bus/usb/001/007 failed: Invalid argument

You seem to have specified a UNIX device name, or filename instead of
selecting
the SANE scanner or image acquisition device you want to use. As an example,
you might want "epson:/dev/sg0" or "hp:/dev/usbscanner0". If any supported
devices are installed in your system, you should be able to see a list with
"scanimage --list-devices".

maybe this is now the way how you can interact with scanner devices. jose
