Can you please look in Yast and tell me how do you define it there?
Have you tried them all? If none work, you might be interested in the following article in the SuSE knowledgebase: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/tsaupe_mustek.html It gives detailed information in case your scanner is not automatically setup. fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux http://www.nibz.org
I tried all from Benq section. I also tried all from Agfa, as I read on the net that Acer S2W 3300U is a derivate from an Agfa model (still I don't know from which one). So I started with that article from knowledge database: Step 1.: sane-find-scanner sane-find-scanner # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x20b0) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x20b0) at /dev/usbscanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x05a9, product=0xa511) at libusb:001:002 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x20b0) at libusb:001:003 # A USB device was detected.

Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be # detected by this program. # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary. Step 2.: scanimage -L scanimage -L device `snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner22 flatbed scanner device `snapscan:/dev/usbscanner' is a Acer FlatbedScanner22 flatbed scanner Step 3: xscanimage I get a popup windows: Failed to open device `snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0: Invalid argument. I tried to restart the USB service /sbin/rchotplug restart, it restarts fine, but scanner still not working. Any suggestions? Thank you. Sourian On Fri, 2003-05-30 at 00:30, FX Fraipont wrote:

It uses the snapscan driver. Charles -- "Problem solving under linux has never been the circus that it is under AIX." (By Pete Ehlke in comp.unix.aix)

All good news: we're getting closer. Use your driver CD from acer, and find the firmware . Mine is on file:/media/cdrom/drivers/BIN/ ant I think it is
U126V043.BIN
and copy it to /etc/ for instance Then edit /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf # Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if # firmware upload is needed by the scanner firmware /path/to/your/firmware/file.bin So /etc/U126V043.BIN # If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name. # For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g. # /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb UNCOMMENT this so /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb Then retry sane-find-scanner Scaninmage -L Xsane fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux http://www.nibz.org
Hi, I'll also add that you should check out the SANE website at http://www.mostang.com/sane/. Be sure you READ THE LINK for your driver! In my case, my scanner required a new version of SANE and woul;d have gotten broken had I used the version of SANE on my (8.1) CDs. HTH. Steve __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
