<P><EM>&gt; Hi Tim and the group,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I'm not sure what version of the snapscan 1212u you are running, but mine
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (a 1212u_2) requires a firmware download before it is recognized by the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sane code. Is the led on the front of your scanner indicating steady on?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; This
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; means the scanner is ready for commands. If it is flashing, it means busy
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and if
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; it flashes out a code, then it is confused with some kind of error.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I dont have the link handy, but there is a download script for loading the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; firmware. I wonder if we should consider adding this code to sane... I keep
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; forgetting how to load mine. It is on a ups and on all the time, so it is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; typically
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; months between reloading the firmware. I havent had a chance to test the new
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; backend yet.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Any recommendations as to what kernel would be best to try? I have
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 2.4.0-test9
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; running at the moment.
</EM><BR>
<P>This is an issue common to a number of USB scanners, and no doubt other USB
<BR>
devices. The long term solution must be to make the formware download
<BR>
transparent, but what is the appropriate method? Is this really part of the
<BR>
&quot;oh, we have an XXX, do we?&quot; activity, where we should add a &quot;We have some
<BR>
download code for an XXX, so lets feed it&quot; step. Or is this a sane startup, &quot;we
<BR>
have an XXX, but the stupid thing isn't talking to us. Lets try a firmware
<BR>
download, and see if that helps&quot; step. The second sounds good, as it bundles
<BR>
the driver and firmware together, which seems sane (or is that SANE). On the
<BR>
other hand, I understand some scanners announce themselves differently once a
<BR>
firmware download is complete. Does anyone have ideas (or better yet plans) in
<BR>
this area?
<BR>
<P>Regards,
<BR>
Steve
