[CoLoCo] using windoze drivers for usb scanner on linux

[Jeffrey LePage]

Hello Kevin and others:

I'm still wrestling with getting a usb scanner working with Ubuntu.  The scanner is...
vendor=0x04a7 [Visioneer], product=0x0410 [OneTouch Pro 8800 USB]

Kevin Fries earlier suggested...

That scanner is just a USB scanner.  It should (I love that word, the second longest word in the English language after 'if', lol) work fine.  The real issue is getting udev to understand and mount the device.  Look at:
     http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2008/applications/hardware/sane-backends/files/66-libsane.rules
and see if by adding that line to the udev rules, same does not see the device.

.

.

I did as Kevin suggested and now sane-find-scanner finds the scanner.  However, running 'scanimage -L' (as root) returns "No scanners were identified..."

Running xsane from gnome gives the same result.
