From: AmirShayari on 23 Sep 2006 04:51 hey people! I bought a new scanner of canon, lide 25. the problme is that mandrive control->scanners doesn't have the right driver to run it. (it ditect that it is a canon scanner, but don't have it on his list of scanners) I heard that I should update sane-backends to 1.0.17 and so I did (by RPM named sane-backends-1.0.17-2.1.20060mdk.i586) but still the mandrive control->scanners can't ditect the scanner. what should I do? thanks

Epson support for Linux is far superior with the downloadable 'iscan' software.

I had the same problem last month. See my thread "CanoScan LiDE 25 found by sane-find-scanner but not scanimage" for the details, but what I had to do was get the source for sane-backends (which is up to 1.0.18 by now) and compile. Works fine. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Cop?n, Honduras http://srcopan.vze.com/

ok so I installed (or think i did it) sane-backends-1.0.18, but still I can't scan any thing. ok, I'll give you the situation as it is: the lsat lines in the commaned 'make' to sane-backends-1.0.18 were: make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ashy/g/a/sane-backends-1.0.18/doc' making all in po make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ashy/g/a/sane-backends-1.0.18/po' make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ashy/g/a/sane-backends-1.0.18/po' at 'make install' they were: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ashy/g/a/sane-backends-1.0.18/po' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ashy/g/a/sane-backends-1.0.18/po' does it mean I suceesed in the install? and the output of 'sane-find-scanner' is: # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner.

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). does it means something or do you need more outputs of some other commends? thanks alot! |
