I use Mint with several scanners. For 35mm i use the reflecta 10M. When I bought it in December 23 I had a struggle to get it recognized in Vuescan. In the end I got it working. I needed to disconnect my standard Brother printer and scanner. It worked flawless.
Now I bought myself a new HP Pavilion laptop. I did what I did before, disconnect the Brother pint/scan unit. This time no luck. The Reflecta is recognized, i can see it in lsusb. In Vuescan there are 2 entry's of the HP camera. I don´t know how to kill those, I don't know if those are a problem?
Ed Hamrick of Vuescan made me aware of a problem he discovered in the log file of the program.
I deleted simple scan. Sane was not installed in Mint. No progress.The error is:
4 usbi: usb_claim_interface failed vid 05e3 pid 0144 nco 1 ifn 0 : could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy
So either the device protection is the problem or some other program (SANE?) is grabbing it and not letting VueScan talk to it.
below the logfile of Vuescan. Genesis is the name of the 10M scanner. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
