Hi,...
I've got a HP ScanJet 4300C that seems to be a little bit
stubborn.
Is there anything I can do, except for forgetting about
this scanner alltogether?
one option is to put the device IDs in uscanner.c and see if
it is recognised.
Thanks for the advice, but the device IDs _are_ already in
uscanner.c. I checked that when I was experimenting with
the old USB stack. The probe fails much earlier, before
the uscanner code has a chance to do anything. So the
problem isn't in uscanner.c.
But other than that, i wouldn't waste much time:
for 50..80 euro you can get one of the
Epson multifunction printer scanners (i have personally
tried DX4400 to DX7050) which are well supported and
extremely reliable.
I bought this ScanJet 4300 C specifically because it is
listed as supported by FreeBSD in the uscanner(4) manpage.
I'm not going to spend more money on anything else (which
wouldn't be guaranteed to work either). Either I get this
beast to work somehow with FreeBSD, or I will have to use
a different OS to drive the scanner.
Fortunately Hans Petter's advice seems to help, although
I still have to test whether SANE will work. (But I'm
optimistic, now that the device attaches.)
Best regards
Oliver
