IcoBgr Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hi, I have USB Umax AstraSlim 1200SE scanner, and I can't install it. I tried with other Umax's drivers from the list but it always set my tv tuner as a scanner at the wizard's end. Can somebody helps with an advaice ?

chris:b Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Welcome IcoBgr, and good evening Sofia! Because you got no answer yet, I'll try though I am quite new with Linux. You might want to try: - unplug your scanner - in the MCC, software installation, search for sane xsane -install the packages from your CD's Shut down your PC. Connect your scanner. Start your Computer. When you are in KDE or Gnome wait ca. 30 seconds or a minute. A new icon should be automatically created on the desktop. If nothing happens, try again in MCC - the scanner configuration. If it does not work, please post again - someone else here will guide you. When it works, post it also. Good luck!

mtweidmann Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Some cheaper scanners (like mine) don't have any on board flash, so have to load some data when they switch on. If your scanner is one of this type you will have to copy some files from the windows install CD and tell Linux where they are. To find out if this applies to you check out the Sane web-site: www.mostang.com/sane/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcoBgr Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 I found 1200.usb file, but I do not know what to do with it. The scanner was not listed in the devices list in MDC hardware - scannerDrake. In HardDrake list there is a unknown device - USB scanner and when I select it in the panel at rigth is written: Vendor: ?Unknown Bus: ?USB Description: ?USB Scanner Module: ?unknown Media class: ?Vendor Specific Class|Vendor Specific Subclass|Vendor Specific Protocol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcoBgr Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 When I choose a scanner fromthe list, no matter which, and choose the autodetect port, then it is sets the TV Tunner driver for the scanner. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
