USB scanner problem

(1/4) > >>

nixmonkey:
I'm am trying to use a USB scanner with TC 11.1 x86. I'm checking here first before digging any deeper. Just maybe there is something I am missing or perhaps it actually is something else.

The scanner is fine. It has been tested with another linux system, using the same cable.

"sane-find-scanner" detects the scanner just fine. "scanimage -L" does not. It simply says there are no scanners found. This is just a simple scanner, not a printer/copier. "hplip" is not being used.

The scanner uses the "plustek" backend.

I tried scanimage -d plustek:libusb:004:002 > test.pnm, and got an I/O error. I didn't think that would work anyway, since "-L" finds nothing.

I did try making a plustek.conf file, but it didn't do anything. Permissions are fine and udev rules are good.

All dependencies installed fine.

Any Ideas?

Juanito:
I’ve had a similar problem with simple-scan, but in my case if I use the uri provided by hplip, simple-scan works.

nixmonkey:
Thanks for the reply, Juanito.

For me "hp-makeuri 004:002" returns "error: Device not found".
Could this just be since hplip doesn't have a plugin for my scanner?

The scanner is "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04a9:220e Canon, Inc. CanoScan N1240/LiDE 30.

Juanito:
I think hp-makeuri will only work with hp hardware - what I meant was did you try using "plustek:libusb:004:002" or similar with simple-scan?

me thinks you did not use the actual usb ids.04a9:220e

then you may need a config as per
https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/5-sane-plustek/#lbAD

2) if that fails you could try

However my web browser takes me to a 64 bit download that unpacks to
