[opensuse] Epson CX5400 Scanning
I'm trying to get the scanner portion of my CX5400 running under SuSE 10.1 (it has worked previously (in 10.0 I think) but I haven't needed to use it in quite some time.... The output of sane-find-scanner is below mymachine:/var/log # sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0808 [USB MFP]) at libusb:004:019 while the output of scanimage -L is mymachine:/var/log # scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). Yast shows that it has detected the scanner and allows me to attach a driver but then says the device is not configured I've edited the /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file and added the usb 0x04b8 0x0808 as suggested by the opensuse SDB page and www.linuxprinting.org recommendations but still can't get xsane to 'see' the scanner. The confusing bit for me now is that epson.conf shows a line usb /dev/usbscanner and I do not have this in /dev the example in www.linuxprinting.com shows the output from sane-find-scanner shows /dev/usbscanner0 at the end of the usb scanner line while I'm showing libusb:004:019 Do I need to add libusb:004:019 anywhere? Can anyone help? Thanks Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
First, using yast software manager, smart, or even the command line with the command rpm -qa | grep scan and see if iscan-free is installed. I have an Epson CX6600 installed and it was detected with yast correctly, I believe that this is because I have iscan-free installed. It will allow you to use the Epkowa driver. You can read about it at the following location http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_spc.html they even have a proprietary driver that you can download. Just by installing iscan-free you will have the necessary entries to id the scanner to the usb subsystem.
