Until a few months ago my scanner attached to the usb port on my
machine was working fine under F14.
It needed a simple:
Add two lines to /lib/udev/rules.d/65-libsane.rules under the Samsung Lines:
# Samsung SCX-4500W
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="342b",
ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
and then firing up the Gimp I could scan immediately - however I have
not used the scanner for a few months and today when I needed it there
it is not recognised.
I tried (as root):
sane-find-scanner - and it gives:
"found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.],
product=0x342b [SCX-4500W Series]) at libusb:001:002"
but yet:
"[root@home1 ~]# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages)."
My original config is still as it was (I checked) - and also the
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf still contains the "xerox_mfp" entry at the
bottom that used to be needed.
I also made selinux permissive in case that was the issue - and it was
the same -
Does anyone know if something has changed in F14 recently that may
have been the cause of this change to scanner recognition - or a way
to work around this?
Thanks
