My scanner is UMAX Arstec 1220S. It is a SCSI scanner.
I use Adaptec AHA-2940U SCSI card. I have RedHat 5.2.
I upgraded kernel to 2.2.6. I installed sane-1.0.1
patched with the umax patch.
The kernel seems to recognize the scanner when
booting. When I cat /proc/scsi/scsi, it correctly
lists out my scanner. However, when I tried to scan
using the apps like scanimage, xscanimage and xsane,
my scanner is not recognized.
I created a group called scanner with the ID of 43. I
added root and another user in the group. I chmod
/dev/sge to 660 and chgrp /dev/sge to scanner as
instructed by san-scsi help file. I made a soft link
of /dev/scanner pointing to /dev/sge. I edited
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf and it looks like this
(excluded comments in the file):
scsi UMAX * scanner
/dev/scanner
/dev/sge
I edited /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf and it looks
like this (excluded comments in the file):
pnm
umax
Now when I used xscanimage or xsane, they only list
out pnm:0 and pnm:1 as the devices to choose from.
When I use scanimage, which I am not sure about the
command syntac, with -d umax:/dev/sge and gave an
error message like device failed to open:Invalid
Argument. When I used findscanner -v, it tried to open
the device from all /dev/sg* but all failed.
Please help.
