I am about to use my hp-(a-4)-scanner (usb) in DSL (at home). I noticed it is detected by DSL (usb-view). I think i need to apt-get SANE. But will that be enough?

I apt-get -d the following deb's:

libgimp1.2_1.2.3-2_i386.deb
libpng3_1.2.1-1.1.woody.9_i386.deb
libusb-0.1-4_1%3a0.1.5-4_i386.deb
sane_1.0.7-2.1_i386.deb
xsane_0.84-2_i386.deb

made a little script with which i dpkg -i them all (in this order)

Tonight i 'll test this script with my hp-scanner.

Will let you know...

Ps: will test with:

scanimage -l

if my hp-scanner is Sane-compatible...

http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/

for linux usb scanner compatibility information.

You might find some helpful tips about setting up your scanner or a similar model under linux.

I tried the deb's and got a little bit of a result after changing the plustek.conf file. (the motor of the scanner started moving, nothing else... )

Then i read that the HP 2200c scanner was supported by sane from version 1.01 and up. (which is in deb-testing). Downloaded it (includes, defoma, perl, libpango, etc..) Sane version: 1.0.13-2, Xsane version 0.96-1. 18 mb packed, 120 mb unpacked!!!!

(not for my usb-stick i am afraid)

I'll try it tonight at home (HD)

Let you know if it works...

Ps: found some info, my scanjet uses the plustek backend (but there is no plustek-usb.deb, only a source-file/tar.gz-file)

Hewlett Packard Scanjet 2200C type: CCD chip: LM9832 VID: 0x03F0 PID: 0x0605

Back to the stable deb's for sane and xsane..

This is a good link: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl5_sane-plustek.htm

I think the trick is to edit the plustek.conf file... (/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf)

My plustek.conf right now:
# Plustek-SANE Backend configuration file
# For use with Plustek parallel-port scanners and
# LM9831/2 based USB scanners

#[parport]
#device /dev/pt_drv

# leave the default values as specified in /etc/modules.conf
warmup -1
lOffOnEnd -1
lampOff -1
#HP Scanjet 2200C
[usb] 0x03f0 0x0605
device /dev/usbscanner

option lampOff 0
option warmup 180
option lOffOnEnd 0

device /dev/usbscanner

Let you know how it turns out...
