scanner/scanning

I've got scanner problems again. Does anybody have a link to any documentation on using SANE with a non-USB device? The FreeBSD handbook chapter does not seem relevant here. The man page is the most useful, but a little vague to my understanding. And I'm a brick short. The problem I've got is...

I found my current scanner, a HP ScanJet3300C, painfully slow for anything beyond black and white low resolution jobs. I will be looking for an used mid-range scanner. It should have USB 2.0 and SCSI interfaces and be able to scan around 10 ppm in its native resolution. It will be used with...

Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get a USB HP printer working via hplip. I've followed most of the info on the net, but im I'm getting the kevent() returned Bad file descriptor error in my CUPS error log. I've tried compiling a new kernel with ulpt disabled (which seems to be...

Installing the printer/scanner on FreeBSD has always been a complicated thing because need to set permissions for users for these devices. Today I write about the installation of the HP Deskjet F2480 (USB printer and scanner in one). An attempt made on FreeBSD 8.4-RC1 (so almost like a...

Hello the forum! I've bought a wireless and multifonction printer (with scanner, copy..): a Canon PIXMAN MX510 series I've successfully installed it with CUPS and I can print a test page. I can even print with openoffice!! (Well that's pretty cool!) But who can do more can do less right?.. The...

Hi, I have scanning problem with my Cannon PIXMA E600. I tried to configure it according to FreeBSD Handbook: Image Scanners. I have checked support devices on sane-project.org. It says the Canon PIXMA E600 status is untested. I got the results from my Laptop as bellow: # uname -a...

Hello, I have a program with multiple threads generating data. I would like for them to each write to a socket that I can attach a lex scanner to, so that single scanner can parse data coming from multiple sources. I assume I would use a AF_UNIX socket for this, but is it best to use a...

Hi ALL! I want to use a barcode scanner on FreeBSD. I have USB Honeywell MS9520. After attach in log: ugen0.4: <Honeywell Scanning and Mobility> at usbus0 ukbd1: <Honeywell Scanning and Mobility Honeywell Scanning and Mobility Scanner, class 0/0, rev 1.10/58.81, addr 4> on usbus0 kbd3 at...

Having trouble getting FreeBSD 9 to recognize my ScanPrisa 640U Acer scanner Any advice as to what else can be done? So far this is what I did: Edited snapscan.conf to point to the driver: firmware /usr/local/share/sane/snapscan/u96v121.bin and also added the following line: #...

Greetings! Is there any common recipe how to use linux .so with a freebsd FreeBSD-native application? In particular: I know about "linux plugin wrapper" (nevertheless it seems to be frozen years ago). I want to run SANE applications (saned, scanimage) using linux-native binary-only sane...

Greetings! Does anybody have success running linux native application which uses USB on freebsd FreeBSD 8.2? I'm trying to run linux SANE (saned/scanimage) on a freebsd FreeBSD 8.2 box. "Test" plugin works good, but when I'm trying to run it with USB-aware scanner plugin it cannot find any USB...

Hi all! I use: Benq Scanner 5000 sane-backends-1.0.21 FreeBSD 7.4-STABLE firmware /home/user/ftp/20F8V119.bin in snapscan.conf The problem is the scanner works unstable (from time to time). It takes multiple attempts of scanimage > file.ppm to get the scan. Only lsusb can always see the...

I'm running scanimage from the latest sane-backends port: tingo@kg-v2$ scanimage --version scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.21; backend version 1.0.21 and running on 8.1-stable (not that I think the FreeBSD version matters) tingo@kg-v2$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE...

Hi! I'm trying to set up my HP Deskjet F2480 on 8.2, I searched on forums and read some docs. Some said I need to remove "ulpt" from kernel conf and rebuild kernel and kernel will recognize it as "ugen". I followed this to do. And I wonder does kernel also recognize it as "ulpt"? Here are...

Hi, I have just acquired a Canon LiDE 210 scanner. Sadly it's not working with my stock 8.1-RELEASE system. It's running the GENERIC kernel, so has these in the kernel config: device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB...

I have been trying to set up a UMAX Astra 2100u scanner but not having much luck. So far I have been unable to scan anything. I can detect the device as root, but a user in the wheel group cannot, and Xsane cannot find the device either. The device is listed as being supported by SANE. I...

I've been away from FreeBSD for too long, so I suspect I must be missing something obvious. I have an HP C4795 scanner/copier/printer. I've found with Linux that the scanner will only work when I've installed hplip. In FreeBSD, if I install it without net-snmp, when I try to set it up with...

Hello, I have recently found on ebay a scanner which is known to work with sane. And luckily it does work :) However, in order for scanimage -L to pick up the scanner, I either need to be in the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dist directory, or I need to copy the...
