Hello...

I just picked up a used Scanjet 4p (which the previous owner says worked fine). I connected it to a recent SuSE 8.2 box (SCSI = Buslogic BT-946C). All I can get out of it is:

scanimage: open of device hp:/dev/scanner failed: Error during device I/O

[snip much]...

I have a 4c that works beautifully, never a problem.

I believe that 'hp:/dev/scanner' is wrong. I use 'scanimage -d hp:/dev/sg0' altho '-d hp:/dev/sg0' is not necessary.

I made a soft link from /dev/sg1 -> /dev/scanner..

Check /etc/hp.conf

Mine has: pat@wahoo:~> cat /etc/sane.d/hp.conf scsi HP /dev/sg0

Very similar

scanimage -L gives: pat@wahoo:~> scanimage -L device 'Hp:/dev/sg0' is a Hewlett-Packard C2520A flatbed scanner

pat@wahoo:~> ls -l /dev/sg0 crw-rw-rw- 1 pat disk 21, 0 2002-09-09 15:24 /dev/sg0

balin:/etc/sane.d # sane-find-scanner found SCSI processor "HP C1130A 3614" at /dev/scanner

Did you set your scanner with Yast2?

YAST hated it, and refused to do anything useful. :-(

addendum...

also try as root: hwinfo --scanner

balin:/etc/sane.d # hwinfo --scanner 02: SCSI 02.0: 10c00 Scanner [Created at scsi.230] Unique ID: +XM_.UCs64PmZ7FC Hardware Class: scanner Model: "HP C1130A" Vendor: "HP" Device: "C1130A" Revision: "3614" Driver: "BusLogic" Device File: /dev/sg1 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no Thanks for the help so far... -Nick
