SANE doesn't seem to find my scanner, but I don't think the problem is
really with SANE. Nevertheless, this seems to be a good place to ask
about scanners and Linux. Perhaps someone can help me.
Running Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, with a compiled 2.4.1 kernel. Among other
things, SCSI generic support is enabled.
Possibly relevant portions of output from "dmesg":

(I also three other SCSI devices, a Zip drive, Jaz drive, and CD-R, on
IDs 3, 4, and 5, but they seem to be working fine.)
So it seems clear that the UMAX scanner is detected by the kernel, and
classified correctly as a scanner, sg3 in particular.
/etc/sane.d/umax.conf:
scsi UMAX * Scanner
scsi LinoHell Office
scsi LinoHell Office2
scsi LinoHell SAPHIR2
scsi Nikon AX-210
/dev/scanner
/usr/lib/sane contains libsane-umax.so.1.0.1 (libsane-umax.so.1 links to
this).
On the other hand:
$ ls /dev/sg*
ls: /dev/sg*: No such file or directory
$ sudo find-scanner -v
find-scanner: searching for scanners:
find-scanner: checking /dev/scanner... failed to open
find-scanner: checking /dev/sg0... failed to open
find-scanner: checking /dev/sg1... failed to open
find-scanner: checking /dev/sg2... failed to open
find-scanner: checking /dev/sg3... failed to open
find-scanner: checking /dev/sg4... failed to open
...
$ scanimage --list-devices
I am obviously missing something. Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks,
Dave
