That didn't look to have any acer or benq files in either - maybe you could get them from the oem site?Hi Juanito, I downloaded than sane=backend. Similar to the earlier three. The md5sum matches if I use Emelfn but 'fails' if I try info from DSL book (pg113). Anyway have saved the file in a dcty on my hd.
Do I need additional files? Also what is the command to run scan?.
System/Stats/PCI shows that the card is recognized. TIA
edit: I downloaded that sane-backends.1.0.14.tar.gz file. Still a 'newbie".Aaah - perhaps you are mixing a standard tarball with a mydsl .tar.gz extension? See page 202 of the dsl book.
To be able to use xscanimage, you have to untar sane-backends.1.0.14.tar.gz (which is a standard tarball) and then compile the application using ./configure, make and make install.Thanks, Will try follow instructions on pg203 of Book.
The DSL book is an excellent source.
Edit: Got 'lost" at step 8 and step 9, pg 203 book. configure -prefix= Is 'prefix' replaced by 'artec" which is the name of the pci for my scanner? Sorry for newbie query.No, prefix means the top dir where to install. Prefix=/usr would install everything in /usr/bin, /usr/lib etc.Next Page...
