Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've never set up a scanner on gentoo (or any other |
| 4 |
linux before). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
So here's what I've done. Looking at the sane |
| 7 |
website I see support for these models: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-hp5590.5.html |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
ScanJet 7650 is listed as basic support. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I have a HP Scanjet 7670, so it should work? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |

lsusb lists the devices like this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 |
| 19 |
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
dmesg shows nothing. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
sane-find-scanner reveals this: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. |
| 27 |
If the result is different from what you expected, first |
| 28 |
make sure your scanner is powered up and properly |
| 29 |
connected to your computer. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, |
| 32 |
make sure that |
| 33 |
you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
found USB scanner (vendor=0x0403 [FTDI], |
| 36 |
product=0x6001 [UC232R]) at libusb:002:002 |
| 37 |
Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may |
| 38 |
not be supported by |
| 39 |
SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Not checking for parallel port scanners. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
so am I out of luck? I have this installed: |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.19-r2 USE="ipv6 usb |
| 47 |
v4l -doc -gphoto2" |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
replugging the usb cable does not make the device appear on |
| 51 |
the usb bus? |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
any ideas? |
| 55 |
