Hi,
Is Epson Expression 636 (SCSI) scanner supported on SuSE? I am trying to use one. It is detected by SCSI and when I tried to configure it in Yast by selecting "Epson" as scanner type, it said that the device is not a scanner. I asked it to accept it anyway to create the /dev/scanner link.
Now if I use scanimage, it complains that it cannot open the /dev/scanner device.
What is the problem?
Try doing it manually. Watch the boot messages to see what /dev/ gets assigned to the scanner. Then ln -s /dev/sg? /dev/scanner then chmod 777 /dev/sg? If your scanner gets a /dev/sga (letter), then a=0, b=1, etc. Then in X run xscanimage, and select the button that corrsponds to your scanner. A couple of the buttons won't work right, they are for some other purpose? If the button connects to your scanner, then the scan window will open up. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
