Help with Scanner - Canon Canoscan Lide 400

[Martin Iturbide]

Hello

I'm trying to help a friend that speaks Spanish to know if his USB scanner will run in ArcaOS, and I was never good with scanners.

Is there ay experience with the "Canon Canoscan Lide 400" (HardwareID: 04a9:1912) ?
What is you feeling about this one? should it work or not?

What steps do you recommend to test if it works or now?

Regards

Hi Martin

No experience of this scanner myself but sane shows it as a supported device see  http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON  so it *should* work.

With the right build version of sane you can just run it, and it will say that it find the scanner or not.
With the wrong version, you'll only get SIGSEGV and debug output.

Try to run scanimage.exe on the command line without parameter, but with the scanner attached and on.
It should try to find it and report something back other than
scanimage: no SANE devices found

Hi, as per your request in the thread you opened "Scanner Working on ArcaOS and OS/2" here are my answers

assuming that what's good for a Canon Lide 100 perhaps could also work for a 400 one.
Just try

Try the package from TAME here installs the latest SANE from RPM.NETLABS.ORG
