Package: libsane
Version: 1.0.19-23
When I initially installed the system Xsane and sane-find-scanner did
not reveal my scanner at all (HP2400 on USB)
lsusb did show it., however.
I have manage dto get it partially working by downloading latest libsane
sources, and once I had the correct development env (you need libusb-dev
installed, or the library wont compile with usb support) managed to get
sane-find-scanner to work, and , with some third party drivers for the
2400, the scanner now works, but only as root..
Since the current stable package is in fact 1.0.19 which is the source I
used, I can only conclude it was mis-compiled?
However, the problem remains that it wants to access a root privileged
USB port. So Xane gives an error when running as a normal user.
The key to testing the libsane is to run 'sane-find-scanner -v'.
If that reveals lack of USB support, then the library hasn't got it.
Or is there some other way the current release is suppose to talk to usb?
