Start at the beginning :-) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
what is the output of |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
lsusb |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
If you run |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
watch --interval=1 lsusb |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
can you see the scanner being plugged and unplugged |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
(you may need to run these commands as root) |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Have you checked your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to make sure that the backend |
| 51 |
that you need is not commented out by a rogue update? |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
what is the output of |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
scanimage -L |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
and |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
sane-find-scanner |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
can root use the scanner? What are the permissions on the scanner |
| 62 |
device? (I assume that the user wanting to use it has to be in the |
| 63 |
scanner group? sane-backends makes the scanner group so I assume thats |
| 64 |
what it is for.) |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
what modules get loaded for the scanner? (lsmod) |
| 67 |
|
