Hello,

perfectly, scanner want not work. I try as user and as root, but xsane
found not the scanner.

gentoo-desk ~ # sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01eb) at libusb:002:008

gentoo-desk ~ # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libsane.rules
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01eb", MODE="0664",
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

gentoo-desk ~ # cat /etc/group | grep scanner
scanner:x:102:siefke

Has someone a idea, where i can search the mistake?

Regards
Silvio

Does scanimage -L find it? If not, try as root, this is usually due to
permissions on the device. You may need to change the MODE and GROUP
assignments in your udev rule to use := instead of = if your settings
are being overridden by another rule.

siefke@gentoo-desk : ~ $ scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

gentoo-desk siefke # scanimage -L

You have a lot of configuration file in that directory, I have only one or two.
Anyhow, according to your first post the output of root:

sane-find-scanner -q is:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01eb) at libusb:002:008

go to directory: /etc/sane.d/
and find out which file contains: 0x04f9 or 0x01eb

run:
find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F '0x04f9'
or
find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F '0x01eb'

post the content of that file.

Hi Silvio,

I have a Brother DCP-9010CN (also an USB PSC) connected to my server and can
typically print and scan over network (using cupsd and saned). So I guess
you should be able to do the same.

Typically you have to install a driver directly from Brother:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1.html

You can install this RPM on Gentoo with rmp2targz. I have to use for my PSC
the driver generation 3 and had to install it afterwards with
"/usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan3" for configuration and
"/usr/bin/brsaneconfig3 -i" adds the driver to the SANE configuration.
Something similar should exist for your driver.

Hope this helps,
Jörg

If it is not seeing it still, could it be that something is missing in
the kernel and it is hardware/driver related?

Also, you did make sure it is plugged up correctly? Maybe try
connecting it to another port too?

My brother, family brother not hardware brother, recently had the
scanner part go dead in his combo. The printer would work but nothing
related to the scanner worked. Possible?

Does anyone know if there is something specific to the scanner that
needs to be in the kernel? I don't have a scanner yet.
