Are you saying that sane-backends should be sufficient to satisfy iscan? Doesn't work. Any ideas, anyone?
Add the following repository and install the iscan-free from there. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/openSUSE_10.3/ as well as any the sane or any other needed. That should get you going.
Thanks for trying Joe. Doesn't work. Conflicts with proprietary-drivers and Iscan itself, Removed those and it installed but still did not work, Tried to reinstall the others and they conflicted with iscan-free, So uninstalled iscan-free and reinstalled iscan.
Do you know what is in the iscan-free rpm? What it does?
Check http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/openSUSE_10.3/repodat... It appears some scanners need firmware to work. The link above describes which scanners they are (I no longer remember what scanner you are working with). Sane was renamed sane-backends, so if iscan complains, it is because it was built before the name change (and probably means it is a pretty old package). You may need to check http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL1.do for a newer package that should work.
Turned the machine off unplugged the usb cable, turned the machine on again and made sure that yast didn't see the scanner. Plugged the scanner usb port back in again and yast found it, properly identified it and showed it at it's usb address. Should be properly configured, but none of the scanner programs seem to find it, including the iscan program itself.
Wonder if it has something to do with the usb address? Very frustrating.
Sounds like it needs firmware to work. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
