finlay Posted January 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I have run sane-find-scanner - nothing. I've run scan --list-devices and got the usual " no scanners were found on your system". I tried deleting the entries in dll.conf and mustek_ub.conf, pulling outthe usb cable, rebooting, and sticking the usb back in once I was back to my desktop. Nothing. harddrake reports the Trust scanner on /dev/usb/scanner0 and invites me to configure it manually. Apart from picking scanners at random from the database, I'm at a loss. :( Can you tell me please which driver your scanner is using? Also, Steve you mentioned that yours works "but with a little tweaking". Can you tell me what that consisted of? Finlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I can try Here is my /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file: # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: net mustek_usb /etc/sane.d/mustek_usb.conf: # mustek_usb.conf: Configuration file for Mustek USB scanner # Read man sane-mustek_usb for documentation # If USB errors occur, using this option may help #option max_block_size 1024 # Autodetect 1200 UB and Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 usb 0x055f 0x0006 # Autodetect 1200 USB (not supported) # usb 0x055f 0x0003 # Autodetect 1200 CU usb 0x055f 0x0001 # Autodetect 1200 CU Plus usb 0x055f 0x0008 # Autodetect 600 CU usb 0x055f 0x0002 # Autodetect 600 USB (not supported) usb 0x055f 0x0873 # If autodetection doesn't work uncomment or add your device file and one # suitable option (1200ub is also for Trust Compact Scan USB 19200). #/dev/usb/scanner0 option 1200ub #option 1200cu #option 1200cu_plus #option 600cu #/dev/usbscanner0 #option 1200ub #option 1200cu #option 1200cu_plus #option 600cu (Hmmmmm...I notice this interesting line in there): 1200ub is also for Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 And do you have these two files? /usr/lib/sane/libsane-mustek_usb.so.1 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-mustek_usb.so.1.0.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 [root@omar omar]# man sane-mustek_usb sane-mustek(5) sane-mustek(5) NAME sane-mustek_usb - SANE backend for Mustek USB flatbed scanners DESCRIPTION The sane-mustek_usb library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to Mustek (and some relabeled Trust) USB flatbed scanners. At pre sent, the following scanners are known to work more or less with this backend: Mustek 600 CU Mustek 1200 UB Mustek 1200 CU Mustek 1200 CU Plus Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 More details can be found on the Mustek backend homepage http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/. The Mustek BearPaw 1200 and 2400 scanners are supported by the plustek backend. See sane-plustek(5) for details. This backend is based on the 1200ub backend provided by Mustek. It was modified to fit into the SANE distribution, some bugs were fixed, support for the 600 CU was added, and some features added. This is BETA software. It currently only works on Linux and FreeBSD. Other systems are untested. See BUGS for more information. This backend can only work with scanners that are already detected by the operating system. For Linux, it may be necessary to load the scanner module with additional ven dor/product parameters /see /usr/src/linux/Documenta tion/usb/scanner.txt for details). With FreeBSD upto 4.4 only the 1200 CU will work out-of-the box. For other scan ners, their ids must be added to the FreeBSD uscanner.c file and a new kernel must be compiled. If you own a Mustek (or Trust) scanner other than the ones listed above that works with this backend, please let me know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from /proc/bus/usb/devices or syslog) to me. DEVICE NAMES This backend expects device names of the form: special Where special is a path-name for the special device that corresponds to a USB scanner. With Linux, such a device name could be /dev/usb/scanner0 or /dev/usbscanner1, for example. For FreeBSD use /dev/uscanner0. CONFIGURATION The contents of the mustek_usb.conf file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Mustek USB scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. If a device name is placed in mustek_usb.conf, it must be followed by a line containing the keyword option and an option specifying the scanner type. The following options can be used: 600cu, 1200cu, 1200cu_plus, 1200ub. For the Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 use `option 1200ub'. Instead of using the device name, the scanner can be autodetected by usb vendor_id product_id statements which are already included into mustek_usb.conf. This is only supported with Linux 2.4.8 and higher. "vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identfy the scanner. If this doesn't work, a device name and the option specifying the scanner type must be placed in mustek_usb.conf. The global option max_block_size can be used to limit the amount of data acquired in one turn from the USB system. It may be woth trying, if USB errors occur. A sample configuration file is shown below: # Comment option max_block_size 1024 usb 0x055f 0x0001 /dev/usb/scanner0 option 600cu The first line is ignored. The second line sets the buffer size to a maximum of 1024 bytes. The third line tries to autodetect a scanner with vendor id 0x055f and product id 0x0001 (Mustek 1200 CU). The fourth line tells the backend to attach to /dev/usb/scanner0 and the fifth line speci fies that /dev/usb/scanner0 is a Mustek 600 CU. FILES /etc/sane.d/mustek_usb.conf The backend configuration file (see also descrip tion of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below). /usr/lib/sane/libsane-mustek_usb.a The static library implementing this backend. /usr/lib/sane/libsane-mustek_usb.so The shared library implementing this backend (pre sent on systems that support dynamic loading). ENVIRONMENT SANE_CONFIG_DIR This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the configuration file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa rator character, then the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified directo ries. For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order). SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_USB If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output. Value Descsription 0 no output 1 print fatal errors 2 print important messages 3 print non-fatal errors and less important messages 4 print all but debugging messages 5 print high level debugging messages 6 print medium level debugging messages 7 print low level debugging messages Example: export SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_USB=4 I hope this helps.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Also, I have these files: /home/omar/.sane/xsane /home/omar/.sane/xsane/xsane.rc /home/omar/.sane/xsane/Mustek:1200UB.drc /root/.sane/xsane /root/.sane/xsane/xsane.rc /root/.sane/xsane/Mustek:1200UB.drc I think the Mustek:1200UB.drc is the important one: "XSANE_DEVICE_RC" "Mustek:1200 UB" "xsane-version" "0.87" "mode" "Gray" "resolution" 13369344 "preview" 0 "tl-x" 600286 "tl-y" 1200572 "br-x" 12039092 "br-y" 18842352 "custom-gamma" 0 "xsane-main-window-x-position" 7 "xsane-main-window-y-position" 188 "xsane-main-window-width" 306 "xsane-main-window-height" 387 "xsane-standard-options-window-x-position" 24 "xsane-standard-options-window-y-position" 438 "xsane-advanced-options-window-x-position" 280 "xsane-advanced-options-window-y-position" 420 "xsane-histogram-window-x-position" 280 "xsane-histogram-window-y-position" 50 "xsane-gamma-window-x-position" 0 "xsane-gamma-window-y-position" 0 [bunch more configuration options] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlay Posted January 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 many many thanks for all this , Steve. I'll sit down with the links you've mentioned and get downloading. A quick look tells me one thing: The model I have is the 1200 UB Plus and the Plus makes all the difference. It needs a completely different driver. I haven't the time at the moment but will get to it as soon as pos. Thanks again Finlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
