Has anyone heard of any problems with this particular scanner
and 2.4.0-test7? I cannot get xscanimage to use it, when I try
to run "xscanimage /dev/usbscanner" I just get: Failed to open
device '/dev/usbscanner': Invalid argument. It also seems to
load all my bttv and i2c modules, which I have no idea what that
has to do with sane.

The firmware uploader works:

[root@cypher tmilker]# ./agfafirm -v /dev/usbscanner
bin/ss1212u_2.bin
Scanner Information (from scanner)
        Vendor: AGFA
        Version: 1.32
        Model: SNAPSCAN 1212U_2
        Firmware date: Mon Jul 12 1999 19:00

Firmware is up to date.

This is what it says in dmesg:

usb.c: registered new driver hub
usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
scanner.c: USB Scanner support registered.
usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.237 $ time 22:22:08 Sep 4 2000
usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled
usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xc000, IRQ 19
usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
usb.c: USB new device connect, assigned device number 1
scanner.c: probe_scanner: User specified USB scanner --
Vendor:Product - 6bd:206
+1
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 2 ports detected
usb.c: USB new device connect, assigned device number 2
scanner.c: probe_scanner: User specified USB scanner --
Vendor:Product - 6bd:206
+1

I had to add:

options scanner vendor=0x06bd product=0x2061

to /etc/modules.conf to get it to show the Vendor:Product.
Shouldn't this be saying SnapScan 1212U or something similar?

I couldn't find documentation on what the major/minor number was
supposed to be, so I used the numbers from the latest patch I
could find, 2.3.41 or something like that:

crw-rw-rw- 1 tmilker root 180, 48 Sep 7 01:46
/dev/usbscanner

I hope this is enough info, I tried to include everything that
might be helpful.

Ted

P.S. I originally sent this message to David Nelson, and he said
everything looked fine. I'd just like to find someone else who
has their scanner working on USB.
