http://askubuntu.com – I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i. I compiled SANE from source. When I run sane-find-scanner, the following output is given: sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the result is different from what you expected, first make sure your scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5, product=0x128d) at libusb:002:004 Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supporte (HowTos)

I decided to try the 64 bit version of 12.04 I have gone through the driver install procedures that have worked for the 32 bit OS but can't seem to find the reason why Xsane and Simple scan don't see my scanner. The scanner is a Brother MFC3220C. sane-find-scanner seems to find the device:

kinda new to ubuntu been using it for a year. Running 11.10 In the past i've been able to solve my issues by searching the internet. But now I'm trying to install cannon pixma mx432 printer scanner. I got the printer working but I'm having a hard time with the scanner i get this message when i have sane find scanner

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 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...

Hello guys,

I have a problem regarding SANE. We have Canon MP500 multifunctional machine and I was able to configure printer corectly using CUPS, but scanner is not working.

I have installed sane-backends 1.0.23, and many other sane packages (one of them was enormous btw, - 120Mb) but sane-find-scanner doesn't find a thing.

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.
