Hello, Everyone
I am trying to get my new Epson 2400 Perfection scanner working under
Fedora Core 2. It connects via USB.
cat /proc/filesystems says the following relevant information:
nodev usbfs
nodev usbdevfs
I have edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to only have the "epson" line
uncommented.
/etc/sane.d/epson.conf says the following:
# USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could
# otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being
# recognized.
# Depending on your distribution, you may need either the
# first or the second entry.
#usb /dev/usb/scanner0
usb /dev/usb/scanner0
# Try USB printers -- this line is required (bug #122328)
#usb
usb 0x04b8 0x011b
/etc/modprobe.conf reads thusly:
remove snd-cmipci { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-cmipci
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias eth0 8139too
alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci
alias net-pf-10 off
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011b
sane-find-scanner says the following:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x011b [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:006
scanimage -L reports:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
The scanner is plugged in, turned on, and as proved above, detected by
sane-find-scanner.
A potential problem is the output of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=05 Cnt=02 Dev#= 6 Spd=480 MxCh= 0

You will notice that statement: Driver=(none)
Our OS is Fedora Core 2, full installation (I never upgrade) EVERY
package installed, and every official update installed, including the
kernel.
sane-backends: 1.0.13-7
sane-backends-devel: 1.0.13-7
sane-frontends: 1.0.11-4
hotplug: 2004_04_01-1
libusb: 0.1.8-2.1
One thing I need to mention. I did have Epson's IScan installed when I
first hooked up the scanner. I did successfully scan a few pictures,
some of quite a high resolution. When I uninstalled Iscan, and I tried
to go strictly with SANE, no joy. I tried reinstalling iscan, and now I
can't even scan with that installed. To clarify, I didn't actually use
iscan to scan, I used a KDE application called Kooka. Now Kooka doesn't
detect any scanners. Even when Kooka detected the scanner, no other
applications detected it: OpenOffice.org, The GIMP. If there is anything
else I need to mention, please let me know. I KNOW that the scanner
works, and that it works on this system.
If I have left anything out, please let me know and I'll be glad to give
you whatever information that you need.
Thanks for your time :)
