Hi,
I am STILL trying to get the my scanner to work! This time it is the Agfa Snapscan 1212U_2 USB scanner.
I have tried almost everything (including screwing up my system with a kernel 2.2.18!). I went back to 2.2.17!
Here is what may help. the kernel is Mandrake 7.2 (2.2.17-21mdk)
[hankey@ceri2 SnapScan]$ LoadAgfa

I then run the following command and get...

detected by the find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read

[hankey@ceri2 backend]$

If I reload the firmware, the scanner and my console hangup totally and I have to remove power
from the scanner to get the screen prompt back!
The device settings are...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 17 15:17 /dev/scanner -> /dev/usbscanner0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 16 21:06 /dev/usbscanner -> /dev/usbscanner0
crw-rw-rw- 1 hankey root 180, 48 Apr 20 22:09 /dev/usbscanner0
The modules loaded are...

I am using the snapscan sources from snapscan-20010411.tar.gz and xsane-0.75.tar.gz with
sane-backends-1.0.4
Under gimp (1.1) I only get the Device Dialog and no choice of scanner devices.
Any help would be welcome!
Regards,
Ceri Hankey
