According to http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=&model=&bus=any&v=04b8&p=... none of the devices with ID 04b8:0863 is currently supported by SANE so that there cannot be this ID in the udev rules from SANE. This in no bug in the SANE software and accordingly I close the issue as "invalid". According to http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=&model=&bus=any&v=04b8&p=... devices with ID 04b8:0863 are supported by the third party driver "epkowa" from Avasys at http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/ If it does not work with the software from Avasys, you can only ask Avasys for help and support, see "Third-Party Scanner Drivers" at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners If devices with ID 04b8:0863 are supported by a driver which is included in SANE, please report this to the SANE upstream autors via http://www.sane-project.org/ so that SANE upstream could do "the right thing" to support devices with ID 04b8:0863 by the SANE software. To get it working for now, either add the missing ID manually to /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules or use the saned with a "Local Host Configuration" as described in the "USB scanner access permissions via udev" section in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
