Hi folks,
for some time I used a HP 2840 AiO device, connected via LAN, to scan documents. As scanning application I use xsane. I want to replace that HP scanner by a CanoScan LiDE 210.
# LANG="" yum info libsane-hpaio ... Installed Packages Name : libsane-hpaio Arch : x86_64 Version : 3.14.6 Release : 3.el6 Size : 148 k Repo : installed From repo : base Summary : SANE driver for scanners in HP's multi-function devices URL : http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ License : GPLv2+ Description : SANE driver for scanners in HP's multi-function devices (from HPOJ).
Now I connected CanoScan LiDE 210 Scanner via USB cable to my CentOS 6 workstation.
# dmesg | tail --lines=15 ... usb 3-1: new high speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=190a usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 3-1: Product: CanoScan usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Canon usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice ...
After opening xsane it seems to be connected to the HP Scanner. I can not find any options for choosing another scanner device. From http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html I can see that CanoScan LiDE 210 is supported by genesys 1.0-63. From my understanding on CentOS the genesys backend is included in sane-backends:
# LANG="" yum info sane-backends ... Installed Packages Name : sane-backends Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.0.21 Release : 3.el6 Size : 4.4 M Repo : installed From repo : anaconda-CentOS-201410241409.x86_64 Summary : Scanner access software URL : http://www.sane-project.org License : GPLv2+ and GPLv2+ with exceptions and Public Domain Description : Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) is a universal scanner interface. The : SANE application programming interface (API) provides standardized : access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, : hand-held scanner, video and still cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.).
The sane-backends is installed, but I can not "see" the scanner:
# scanimage -L device `hpaio:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_2840?zc=NPI9AC264' is a Hewlett-Packard HP_Color_LaserJet_2840 all-in-one
I have no idea what I can do now. It is not clear to me if sane-backends package really includes the required genesys 1.0-63 version.
Any help to make the new scanner work is appreciated.
Regards,
Meikel
