Code: Select all
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/001/006
And Xsane finds nothing...
EDIT: Xsane gives these possible reasons why it doesn't find anything:
Code: Select all
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/001/006
Yes i have. No changes...Husse wrote:To be sure - have you tried this?
I just wonder why this Canon model is ranked in "works perfectly in Linux" category in the OpenPrinting web site? Or maybe i've missed some really basic thing in this operation to get the scanner working... Let's see. Usb -cabel is connected, because i can print. Both machines, the pc and the printer are on, because i can print. Other than that i'm not sure of everything. Well, i'm sure that i have Xsane- and sane -named programs in my system.Husse wrote:Ouch - I'm out of suggestions for now
What about sane-backend or something like that? I've read somewhere about that, but didn't understand that much of it. If i have sane, do i automatically have sane-backend also? And if i do, should i do something about it, configure it or put it in some exact place in my system etc...? Sorry, i'm just tumbling in the dark...Eesaurus wrote:Well, i'm sure that i have Xsane- and sane -named programs in my system.
I think i have Sane, because when i didHusse wrote:If you have SANE you might have SANE backend which basically is the driver
This brings the question - have you installed any driver? (for the scanner)
The Open Printing database only talks about the printer part of multifunction devices
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install sane
My brain is kind of jammed at the moment with this scanner -thing. Can't think straight... I guess i should take a break, breath deep couple of days and get back to it when i'm cooled down. I'll then read that article again.Husse wrote:Please take a look here
