Dear All,
I am new to Suse 8 and liking it so far. I , also, use Linux Mandrake 9. Anyway, I had my unsupported scanner working with LM9 very nicely using the niash patch for sane. There was a special procedure to get this working for LM 9 and it finally worked very well. Now, I would like to get this working with Suse 8 and so far no luck since there are some differences between LM 9 and Suse 8. I am sure it would work in Suse 8, however, I am not sure exactly what I need to do. Is anyone using this scanner with Suse sucessfully using the niash testtool ? If anyone could help me step by step I would appreciate it greatly. The testtool and information come from this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend/.
Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Marcia
Hi Marcia, I don't know about this niash patch, but if it is available from source, you possibly might have to compile your own sane using this patch. Make sure that you first got the rpm uninstalled, then install it in /usr (./configure --prefix=/usr) Did you look at the component data base (http://cdb.suse.de) and there: http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html Maybe both not the hottest links, but worth a try for the beginning:-) Cheers ....
