CUPS USB Printing Issues
Juanito:
I've only ever used hp printer/scanners and they've always worked fine with cups/hplip/sane.
Once or twice I've tried to help out with printer/scanner drivers for other manufacturers and it's always been difficult because they are usually pre-built and thus reliant on libs not necessarily present in tinycore.
Good luck with the scanners.
Falco:
I have never worked with scanners before in Linux. I have been doing plenty of reading, research and testing. I have had no luck with sane although I am still working on it.
On Tiny Core, I have installed the sane-backends, hplip, cups and a variety of other utilities to help my attempt at getting this scanner to work.
I feel as though I am still missing a large piece.
When I plug the scanner in there is not even an entry for it anywhere in the "/dev/".
Juanito:
Is it a stand-alone scanner or is it part of a multifunction printer/scanner/fax device?
What interface does the scanner use - usb, scsi, parallel or network?
Note that hplip is only useful for hp devices.
Falco:
I have a variety of scanners that I can use to test. They are all stand-alone scanners.
My goal is to get the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 working locally. I have checked, and this scanner is covered by sane.
- Scanner: Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300
- Interface: USB 2.0
Juanito:
With the sane-backends extension loaded, what does "scanimage -L" give?
Did you look at the config file section of:
