HP ScanJet 2200c Setup


Recommended Posts

Schie?en Sie los! Are the XSane developers idiots? Wheni I tried to use XSane, I end up with a message saying that no devices were found. Well hullo! "/usr/bin/sane-find-scanner" found the scanner and when I checked SANE's site, I found that the HP ScanJet 2200c (my scanner) works with the version of SANE that I got, version 1.0.8. But I believe I found how XSane screwed up. When I checked the backend, my scanner doesn't use the hp backend, but rather the plustek backend. So, how am I supposed to get this sonofagun working in Linux? The backends are already included. This would be crucial to me in my elimination of Windows (on my computer) process.

Never mind! I just got XSane working by some wild command. But for those of you who have troubles with your USB scanners, just modify the XSane shortcuts to read this:

usr/bin/xsane (backend name):/dev/usb/scanner0

or

usr/bin/xsane (backend name):/dev/usbscanner

You can get the information on what backend your USB scanner uses by going to http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html .
