I have a USB-linked HP PSC750 which works perfectly on my Mandrakelinux 10.0/Dell system, using XSane. I am a plug'n'play user and have no Linux etc skills whatsoever, but if you contact me off-list I can try to answer any questions you may have about my set-up.

Hi This one's been nagging at me for a while, since I moved over completely to Fedora c2. Got all my hardware working EXCEPT for a scanner. I have three scanners, 1 has no PSU, the other is a Mustek parrallel driven one that Sane's drivers say doesn't work - but the third is a HP Scanjet 4100c usb, which IS supported in Sane. It also works perfectly under XP. Except it don't work! sane-find-scanner reports it correctly. scanimage -L calls it by its rightful name xsane or xscanimage both segfault, or hang or timeout. I've tried lots of things, changing ports, checking it again, even replacing the motherboard (including going from Via chipset to SIS), gone from 2.6.5.1:358 to 2.6.8.1:521 (both binary kernels - I've rolled my own before and can't see any real advantage) but nothing's working. Fedora doesn't have modconf, and none of the FAQ's regarding sane appear to be particularly useful with regard to Fedora (files in wrong places, kernel wrong, etc) Has anyone successfully setup a usb scanner with Sane? If so, any fairly basic directions please? (The docs and howtos don't give you enough information for me to get my head around exactly what is supposed to be happening) Or, is there any other workable scanner systems for linux that aren't sane based? I can't even dual-boot back into XP to scan now, because the mobo upgrade means XP reboots before it even gets to gui, even in safe mode and I don't really want to reinstall it, then have to redo the Grub MBR after XP has tramped its very heavy feet over it. (Fedora auto-detected and setup all the new hardware straight away, btw.)
