I have SANE installed and HP5300C connected to USB port. Installed the HP5300 module for the kernel. When I sane-fine-scanner, is shows the the scanner at /dev/sg0. I ran yast1, now it shows up both at /dev/sg0 and dev/scanner. cat /proc/scsi/scsi shows the HP 5300C printer. If I run imagescan -L, it cannot find anything. I edited the dll.config file and uncommented the avision line. (HP5300C supposedly takes the avision driver). Still imagescan -L cannot find it. Can anyone help? Art

Hello Art I have an Epson scanner which works nicely and is now properly installed thanks to the excellent advice I got from this list. I think you should try the command "lsmod" as root it will show you if an usb scanner module is loaded. If you do not see it type "modprobe scanner" It did it for me BTW Is your /etc/sane.d/hp.conf , or /avision.conf , correct ? what are the uncommented lines ? "/dev/usbscanner" did not work for me, I changed it for "usb /dev/usb/scanner0" I also edited a file /etc/rc.config.d/usb.rc.config with the line USB_DRIVERS="usb scanner" and another one /etc/usbmgr/host with the line scanner but I do not know if they are really necessary. Hope it helps.

Thanks for info. The HP5300C shows up as an scsi scanner which is according to the info from the sane website. ran the lsmod and it is showing up as such. sane-find-scanner also shows it, but no scanimage -T. The avision.conf has /dev/sg1 which I changed to /dev/scanner, but still no results. Tried the install again with Yast, now it comes up with /dev/sg0.

I think that If your scanner is connected to an USB port, it should be declared as such somewhere and you should have an USB module to drive it .
The avision.conf has /dev/sg1 which I changed to /dev/scanner, but still no results. Tried the install again with Yast, now it comes up with /dev/sg0.
In my epson.conf I have "usb /dev/usb/scanner0" and it works ; but yast was unable to write this. Yast 2 messed it up completely, we had to edit most of the files manually. I don't think you will succeed with yast. but once you know it, it's not very difficult and I wish you the best of lucks.
