https://bbs.archlinux.org – I ran into something like this getting my neighbor's scanner working on his Linux box. But that was a couple of years ago... and my memory sucks... so don't rely on any of the following...Since the sane-gt68xx-backend package hasn't been updated since 2007, his scanner also wouldn't work right away.In my case I had to use the Vendor-ID and Product-ID to get the real manufacturer and model of the scanner. Even though the scanner had it's own name/model, I found out the "guts" of the scanner was actually made by Plustek (I think). But that's not the proble (HowTos)

Hi,I have been trying to get my Plustek Opticbook 3600 scanner working but so far without success.If I run this in the terminal, the scanner shows up:sane-find-scanner

I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i. I compiled SANE from source. When I run sane-find-scanner, the following output is given:

I have SANE and SANE-scanner installed in my Ubuntu 12.04 box. I have an Epson V500 flatbed scanner, tied by USB to my machine. On my network I also have an HP All-in-One that has scanner functionality. Both are detected by the computer as scanners. I want to always use the Epson scanner but can't find a way to tell SANE-scanner to use the (second listed) Epson scanner.

I recently upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and since then I havent gotten my scanner to work. The latest iscan-packages are installed and sane seems to find my scanner but despite that the following error messages appears in xsane and iscan.

I have just got around to installing my scanner and followed this thread to the letter and nothing is working.

here is what I get when I do sane-find-scanner

Code: me@My-desktop:~$ sane-find-scanner

So I think I know what my issue is but I thought I would get some input before I returned this. The Brother DSmobile scanner I bought is not found in xsane or simple scan. The Pentax DSmoble 600 was listed as supported on the SANE website.

I have a Brother MFC-9440CN and was working fine till I changed the IP range I am unable to change the Scanner to a new Ip address

$ brsaneconfig3 -q | grep SCANNER 0 SCANNER "MFC-9440CN" I:192.168.5.3

I need to change it to 192.168.1.09 this is what I used to set it up the first time-I did try again with new IP $ brsaneconfig3 -a name=SCANNER model=MFC_9

Okay so I bought a Kodak all in one printer/scanner/copier and was able to get a driver for the printer to work, but not the scanner; so I kept my old hp 3-in-1 so I could scan and it was working great. Thing is I think when I tried installing sane from the git repository because it supposively would allow the Kodak scanner to work, now the hp scanner won't be detected.
