Until you get the Manuf , Product Id numbers into the conf files your not going to get your Scanner to work. Believe me these Instruction will get your Scanner working; Do a "lsusb" with scanner hooked up and on and you can get Vendor , Product ID # # your model number here usb 0x04e8 usb 0x342b Put your scanner in /etc/sane.d/hp.conf , just enter your scanner like they did the others. "These are the instructions for setting up the Scanner" Scanner Setup [edit] Scanning I have also now tested scanning on the scx-4500w now. I installed sane-backends from updates-testing to give sane-backends-1.0.20-4.fc10.i386 Then edited /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf to add two extra lines, according to advice from other postings on the net since the Samsung printer was suggested to work with the xerox_mfp backend setup: # Samsung SCX-4500W (Just example names, Put your scanner name in place) usb 0x04e8 0x342b Then make a new file /etc/hal/fdi/information/19-libsane-scx4500w.fdi with the following content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.subsystem" string="usb"> <match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x04e8"> <match key="usb.product_id" int="0x342b"> <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">scanner</append> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Then I simply fired up the GIMP and asked it to scan - it found the scanner, and it worked without any further setup. Note that in F11 the scanner refused to work although printing worked as in F10. After a lot of fiddling around I found that there is a workaround to what looks like an error in the package "sane-backends-1.0.20-4.fc11.i586", and managed to make the scanner work again - I found that the dll.conf files in /etc/sane.d/ were interesting. There were two files in my system - which were: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 916 2009-10-03 12:13 dll.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 664 2009-06-23 09:04 dll.conf.rpmnew I noted that dll.conf was dated later than dll.conf.rpmnew - and the dll.conf file did not include xerox_mfp, whereas the earlier dated dll.conf.rpmnew did include this and in my case this is needed for the driver! So I simply did the following: mv dll.conf dll.conf.orig cp dll.conf.rpmnew dll.conf To make the .rpmnew version current and fired up GIMP and asked for a scan - and it worked just fine. I added a note to a pre-existing bugzilla report and hopefully it will get fixed in due course. "End Of Instructions" These three conf files are what needs Edited. /etc/sane.d/hp.conf ( this file hp.conf is one, and I notice that there are a couple of others) /etc/sane.d/ dll.d (this dll.d directory in mine was empty, if it the same in your you have to do nothing here) /etc/hal/fdi/information/19-libsane-scx4500w.fdi ( If the /etc/hal/fdi/information directory is not there, you will have to type them in., and the script file /19-libsane-"your model number here".fdi , no "" to be used. Copy and paste the script from instructions into file /etc/hal/19-libsane-"your model number here".fdi -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
