Nothing in the hardware has changed. I have an Epson 1240U connected via my
usb port. Under Slackware 7.1 it used to work.
The kernel has usb software built in. And as I noted above I can make contact
with the scanner. I just can't get it to scan.
Here is a snippet from dmesg:
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0x6300, IRQ 11
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 2 ports detected
uhci.c: Linus Torvalds, Johannes Erdfelt, Randy Dunlap, Georg Acher, Deti
Fliegl, Thomas Sailer, Roman Weissgaerber
uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver
usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
scanner.c: USB Scanner support registered.ub.c: USB new device connect on
bus1/1, assigned device number 2
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 3
usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x46d/0xc501) is not claimed by any active
driver. (Note this device is a cordless mouse that I don't use at present.)
...
This is from the same kernel that I used before.
/dev/usb contains the following:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 180, 48 Mar 25 16:04 scanner0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 49 Mar 25 16:04 scanner1

crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 54 Mar 25 16:04 scanner6
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 55 Mar 25 16:04 scanner7
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 56 Mar 25 16:04 scanner8
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 57 Mar 25 16:04 scanner9
Does this help at all?
