I guess I am just to dumb to understand but I have been reading google pages for 2 days (Ubuntu 8.04 scanner install) and cannot get this scanner to work I really do not understand 'sane or Ubuntu's xsane how to. I just get no such file or command in most cases and I am using sudo to give root priviledge but looking with terminal shows
herb@Celf:~$ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a7 [Visioneer], product=0x0211 [OneTouch 7600 USB]) at libusb:002:008 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Not checking for parallel port scanners. # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program. # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary. herb@Celf:~$ ls .sane xsane xscanimage So the xsane folder is empty, the xscanimage has one file: xscanimage.rc From Gimp when I sellect file/aquire/xsane/ I get no scanner present. When I use file/aquire/xscanimage nothing happens at all. This was a fix also that did not work: herb@Celf:~$ lsusbBus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04a7:0211 Visioneer OneTouch 7600 Scanner Bus 002 Device 007: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp.

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUBBus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 (shows the scanner is setup at Bus 002 Device 008 and this was the CLI command suggested:
herb@Celf:~$ sudo chmod 660 /proc/bus/usb/002/008 [sudo] password for herb: chmod: cannot access `/proc/bus/usb/002/008': No such file or directory herb@Celf:~$However looking with file browser I see /proc/bus/usb but /usb is empty. I assume I need somehow to create those two files /002/008
Trying to understand I believe either a driver is failing to be installed or some file does not have the permission set for me. However both sane and xsane are fully installed according to Snap-pk-mgr including utils and libusb and libsane
I'm real unsure of my safe ground in using the CLI plus I want to know more about how it hooks in so please be verbose.
