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. This program can't be sure if it's really # a scanner. If it is your scanner, it may or may not be supported by # SANE. 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.
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
