Hi all,
I know I have seen some on this list mention that they have a HP6300C scanner connected to their SuSE machine and working ok, so tell me how? I have searched the database and mail archives as I thought something might be there, but did not see anything connected to this model. I am guessing I saw something in reply to another HP scanner where someone mentioned it.
Here are the specifics: SuSE 8.0, USB connection YaST2 sees the scanner sets up for it correctly, pretty much that is! YaST2 won't run the test scan and the programs don't want to see it. Checking the hp.conf files, I find this: scsi HP & /dev/scanner
I am thinking this might be a problem since it is a USB scanner? Maybe it should be usb HP & usb /dev/usbscanner instead?
Thanks for your input.
Have you tried sane-find-scanner ?? It may find your scanner and then you need to fix the /etc/sane files to enable it. Don't know whether this would be the problem with a usb scanner but it showed me that my scsi scanner was visible. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
