Recently, I discovered the SANE project, and would very much like to use
it for running
a scanner on my l Linux box. I haven't been very succesful in getting my
scanner recognized though, using
sane 0.74
I have a Canon Canoscan 300 flatbed scanner, configured for LUN 03 and a
ncr810 SCSI host adapter.
My kernel is configured with generic SCSI support, and have found the
generic SCSI devices /dev/sga
through /dev/sgh. No, I'm not much of a SCSI expert, but assuming that
/dev/sgd correspondes with LUN 03,
I set up a symbolic link from /dev/sgd to /dev/scanner.
Futhermore, in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, I included a line that reads canon.
I found no cano.conf in /etc/sane.d/ so I made
one. This file simply states /dev/scanner.
Following the documentation, I figured out that this would approximately
the way to set up a scanner using sane,
but so far, I have not been able to get anything working. If anybody has
an idea, please let me know.
B.t.w, even though I might not be very worhwhile as a developer for
SANE, when I get my scanner working, I'm
more than willing to test the canon backends.
Regards,
Durk
