Hi,
After checking to see what had a decent level of support on Linux today
my new HP4200C scanner arrived so I'm trying to set it up. I have it
connected via the USB to my machine (x86). I'm running linux-2.3.99-pre6
so I have the most recent USB code. I've downloaded SANE 1.0.2 and
compiled and installed it.
When I run xsane or xcanimage they always crash - gdb shows that they
are in sanei_hp_scsi_new. It was crashing in the umax backend in the
equivalent place until I hid the shared library (and then tamarak etc).
This is my first venture into SANE (indeed this is the first scanner
I've owned) I really don't know what's going on but I guess it's some
problem with the SANE configuration.
I don't think it's a problem with my USB configuration since the USB
tools (e.g. lsusb) list the scanner appropriately and I can run the
hp_scan test program that comes with the USB scanner driver. This
appears to run successfully - when it starts the scanner appears to scan
and I get a substantial output file that the USB scanner driver
documentation says contins the raw scanned image.
Some things I've tried:
Leaving only hp in /usr/etc/sane.d/dll.conf
Having a /usr/etc/sane.d/hp.conf with the lines:
connect-device
/dev/scanner
and also with the lines the other way around.
/dev/scanner is a softlink to the real device which has permissions 666.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong or what the
best way to go about diagnosing the problem might be?
Thanks for any help,
Tim Bartley.
