[ubuntu] My Scanner nor tablet will work for my Ubuntu

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I am using the Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, and I am having a hard time running my CanoScan LiDE 200 and I was told that it should just work with my XSane, but my XSane won't register the Scanner so I checked for any missing plug ins to the XSane and added only one item that said it works for my scanner but my scanner still won't work. I am also using a wacom Pen, and I already downloaded the two items several Ubuntu Artist told me to download from the package manager and yet my tablet still does nothing, not even for my GIMP. Can someone please help. If you give me a package (Hardware)

canon scanner 5 weeks 15 hours ago

hello, Is there anything I should do to get the scanner working in F18 ? the canon scanner shows up in dmesg and I have installed xsane and xsane-gimp but in Gimp /file/create/xsane device dialog it only opens the webcam, where do I get hold of the scanner ?

cheers

Hello - Xsane is supposed to support the Canon lide 35 scanner. It does recognise it. But when trying to preview the scan, it returns the infamous "invalid argument" error. Has anybody solved this problem without buying a hp scanner ?

I have an HP PSC2110 that is connected to a Linksys WPSM54G wireless print server. Printing works great, no issues what so ever. I am wondering if anyone has been able to configure the scanner to work that way as well. If I connect the PSC2210 to my laptop via USB, XSane sees the scanner and works perfectly.

Xsane always comes up "scanning devices" when I call it up from Applications > Graphics. It then finds the HP PSC 1350 scanner (so far so good) and the PCTV Rave video card (not so good).

When I press the scan button on the printer/scanner, nothing happens. I believe it to be because Xsane finds both devices and doesn't know what to do next.

Using a scanner in Linux is somewhat different than using that same scanner hardware in Windows. This week's Linux Picks focuses on how the XSane scanner app handles that process. In the Windows world, scanner hardware is TWAIN-compatible through manufacturer-developed scanning software.

Hi, I ve got some trouble with Xsane 0.996 running on Ubuntu 9.10. Problem : starting xsane (icon or in terminal) starts the program; searches for scanner and stops; if I start in terminal I get following message :

WARNING: Unhandled message: interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable, path=/, member=Introspect

When Running as root user xsane starts-up almost instantly and is able to perform scans.

When running xsane as normal user it takes abbout 5-10 minutes before xsane starts (it hangs on scanning for devices), after that it shows the scanner and it is able to perform the scan.

I have tested this when the Printer/Scanner is connected over network and on USB, with both hplip 3.11.7 (supplied wit

configuring MFC scanner 1 year 17 weeks ago

Hello, I want to install the scanner drivers of my MFC-5440CN (NETWORK connection). brscan-key says the scanner works, but "xsane" doesn't sees it. Procedure followed: I've 64 bits arch. I've seen in bother's page it uses "brscan2".So I installed packages: sane and xsane from repos.

Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and having tried many previous releases I can say that I was very impressed! I was very impressed when my HP printer/scanner which is networked was detected OK and printing is no problem. However my happy mood was dashed when I opened XSANE and was told no devices were found. The HP site says that 5100 devices should print and scan over a network with Ubuntu 9.10.
