Re: [SLE] Wrong thread, was orginally: [SLE] Database front ends,

Hi, I have almost the same scanner, Benq S2W 4300U, and it works fine with the driver "Generic - snapscan" and the firmware that came with the original installation CD: firmware /usr/lib/u222v067.bin (from 'snapscan.conf' in /etc/sane.d/) My only problem is that in order to use the scanner I have to unplug the USB cable to the scanner, wait a while (like 5 seconds), and then plug it in again. A beep sounds, and when I click the scanner icon on the desktop Kooka starts and all is great. If I don't do this procedure, all is great except that I'm not able to choose whether the scanner is '/dev/usb/scanner0' or '/dev/usbscanner' when I click the scanner icon - Kooka starts but without connection to the scanner. I'm not sure what causes this problem, but since the scanner is correctly recognised during the YaST installation and during hardware scan at boot, I guess it may have something to do with the handling of some kind of USB module, -service, hotplugging USB service, or in which order it is loaded. /Lars Patrick Shanahan wrote:

I have a scanner - Acer (now Benq) S2W3300 - USB. It is detected, even the name is found, but I don't know wich driver to choose from.

In the Benq section of Yast2 there are some drivers, none for this particular scanner.

Any of you know how to make it work?

I searched google for answers, it seems to be fully suported, but all the links towards detailes were broken :((

I have the very same scanner, and it works fine here; automatically set up in 8.2 as ACER S2W -3300U-4300U. I've been using it since 7.1 (7.1, 7.3, 8.1) and some tweaking was necessary back then.

Tell me which version of SuSE you are using.

Explanations of the reasons for this abound in this list archives.
