    Hello SANE Enthusiasts,

    I've gotten a Bell & Howell 8080d for one week to test. I am eager to
     get SANE to work with it. I have tested SANE on an HPscanjet
     with the ADF and it worked pretty well. I have connected the B&H
     scanner to my Linux (RedHat 7.0) computer and checked the SCSI port
     with find-scanner. Here is the output:

    find-scanner: found scanner "B&H SCSI COPISCAN 8080D 0120" at device
    /dev/scanner
    find-scanner: found scanner "B&H SCSI COPISCAN 8080D 0120" at device
    /dev/sg0
    find-scanner: found scanner "B&H SCSI COPISCAN 8080D 0120" at device
    /dev/sga

    so far so good. (I also made sure the /dev... were world accessible)

    When I issue the command: scanimage -L, all I get is a blank stare. :-(
    scanimage doesn't know about this scanner.

    Next I issued the commands:

    export SANE_DEBUG_BH=15
    scanimage -d bh:/dev/scanner > bh.lis 2>&1

    Here is the output from the above command:

    [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of bh to 15.

    scanimage: open of device bh:/dev/scanner failed: Invalid argument
    [bh] sane_exit called

    SANE is talking to the scanner! :-)

    My question: can I make a change in the bh.conf file to make it
    recognize this scanner? Where do I go from here? Any help will
    be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
