Hi, I have the following problems: I installed an Acer/Benq 3300 usb scanner that works fine. The problem is that the scanner is only recognized by the system after I run the script "acerfirm u176v042.bin" that update the firmware of scanner. Every time I was turn on my computer I need to do that. How can I automatically do that on the startup? Thanks Thadeu

Hi Thadeu, I do not really believe that this script updates the firmware of your scanner, since updating firmware is done once and then it's done. BUT back to topic, if you want this to run every time on boot, then write it to /etc/init.d/boot.local You might have to give the full path. Also, you might have to create this file because it does not necessarily exist. Cheers ... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@gmx.net

Or if you have a recent version of sane you can put it directly in your scanner's config file in /etc/sane.d. The line should look like: firmware /the/name/of/your/file/with/fully/qualified/path Charles

HI. In /etc/sane.d/snapshot.conf at the top of the fine is an line starting with firmware. Add there the path to the firmware. After starting kooka the firmware is uploaded to the scanner. And yes, FladbedScanner23 is ok. Ralf -- Ralf Haueisen ralf.haueisen@pi.uka.de df1iaz@darc.de http://www.qsl.net/df1iaz
