I have an HP PhotoSmart S20 photo scanner that connects to the USB port. Since SANE doesn't support that scanner, I thought that wine could be an option. I have its drivers for Windows 2000/XP and successfully installed them with wine. The installation actually ran smootly and without incidents. However, when I try to run the scanning application, it will complain of not being able to communicate with the scanner (see the log below).
As far as I know wine HAS to use SANE as it can't access the hardware directly. So if you don't have a SANE driver you're out of luck. But maybe you find one somewhere on the net. And if I'm wrong please someone correct me :)
I know I'm being naive, but as far as I know, because these drivers are for Win2k they are not VxD's (there are actually no .vxd files whatsoever) and perhaps they can run in user mode. Is this correct? Is there a way around this at all, like for instance letting the program access the USB port directly?
fixme:file:DEVICE_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD UsbScan0. Try setting Windows version to 'nt40' or 'win31'.
Judging from this message your config WINVER is set to win95/8. bye Fabi _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
