Vuescan on 10.4

[ejazzkatt]

I tried to run Vuescan on 10.4. I got a message saying that it couldn't find my scanner. My scanner is listed as being supported and this computer dual boots Windows XP and Vuescan works fine under Windows.

I've just clicked on the file to get Vuescan to run. As I said, it runs, but it doesn't find my scanner.

Any ideas.

If you have not already done so, install xsane.

Description: featureful graphical frontend for SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
xsane can be run as a stand-alone program or through the GIMP image
manipulation program. In stand-alone mode, xsane can save an image
to a file in a variety of image formats, serve as a frontend to a
fax program, or send an image to a printer.
.
SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application
programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any
raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner,
video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). The SANE standard is
free and its discussion and development are open to everybody. The
current source code is written to support several operating systems,
including GNU/Linux, OS/2, Win32 and various Unices and is available
under the GNU General Public License (commercial applications and
backends are welcome, too, however).

Xsane is a scanner utility. You'll find it in the K Menu. Try using it instead.

What does your vuescan log file say?
