marafa Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 i have been here: http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?thold=-1& mode=flat&order=1&sid=2034#29294 which tells me hp scanjet 2200c works with 8.2 http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html#downloads which tells me the driver is now incorporated into sane backend since 1.07 http://scanjet2200c.sourceforge.net/ which tells me to use the plustek http://www.mostang.com/sane/ which tells me that 1.09 is out oh and here too: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hard-detai...canner&F_ID=425 which tells me the scanjet2200c is supported by mandrake and they all tell me more or less the same thing ... the hp scanjet 2200c is supported by sane 1.07 and above and is part of the sane=backend package. (i even got source code and cooker rpms) and the result? xsane tells me: the hp scanjet 2200c is not supported by this version of mandrake. i have tried. i have been at this for a week now and i have failed .. miserably i might add and all i want know is to get it to work as it should. any and all help appreciated! thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugerobot Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 I feel like a freaking SANE expert by now because of all of the problems I've had... but I promise the answer is here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=949 First of all, it is scanner-drake that is telling you the scanner is not supported.. not xsane. Secondly, forget about scanner-drake. Your not going to get it working with scanner-drake. My problem wasn't exactly the same as yours, but the links in the thread above all explain exactly what you need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marafa Posted November 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 hi the link was great but unfortunately the only thing i learned from it was that i had to uninstall everything related to sane and recompile and install sane from scratch. that worked ..sort of .. on each boot.. i can do a scanimage -L and it tells me device `plustek:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 2200c USB flatbed scanner ok ..then i do it again ... and it says .. no scanner found!!! ok .. reboot, xscanimage .. the title says plustek:/dev/usb/scanner0 i hit scan and it says i/0 error i m lost again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
