Ho to get work HP ScanJet 5p SCSI scanner?

[zeroconf]

My distro is Kubuntu 6.06 and made all current updates and I also have KDE 3.5.4, amarok 1.4.1 and KOffice 1.5.2 installed (all from kubuntu.org/packages).
My kernel is:

$ uname -r
2.6.15-26-386

In Edubuntu 5.10 this scanner and SCSI adapter worked after I used these instructions - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...jet+5p+scanner
But now are udev changed and these suggestions does not have effects

According to sane-project web page this scanner should have complete support to Linux:
http://sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.ht...EWLETT-PACKARD

I have HP ScanJet 5p SCSI scanner and Initio 9100 SCSI controller (kernel module initio loaded).
dmesg output:

I found different system as it was in Ubuntu 5.10 which is described here:

Also some information about SCSI device /dev/sg0:

$ scsi_info /dev/sg0
SCSI_ID="0,2,0"
HOST="0"

Also proc is showing it:

First I run:

$ sudo 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.

found SCSI processor "HP C5110A 3701" at /dev/sg0
 # Your SCSI scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by SANE. Try
 # scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

 # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
 # you have loaded a kernel driver for your USB host controller and have setup
 # the USB system correctly. See man sane-usb for details.

 # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

 # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
 # can't be detected by this program.

Just for case I checked permissions and group membership:

$ ls -l /dev/sg0
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 21, 0 2006-08-25 13:03 /dev/sg0

Then I run:

$ sudo udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg0

udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful attributes
in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one rule,
to match the device for which the node will be created.

device '/sys/class/scsi_generic/sg0' has major:minor 21:0
 looking at class device '/sys/class/scsi_generic/sg0':
  KERNEL=="sg0"
  SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic"
  SYSFS{dev}=="21:0"

follow the "device"-link to the physical device:
 looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/platform/host0/target0:0:2/0:0:2:0':
  BUS=="scsi"
  ID=="0:0:2:0"
  DRIVER=="unknown"
  SYSFS{device_blocked}=="0"
  SYSFS{iocounterbits}=="32"
  SYSFS{iodone_cnt}=="0x472"
  SYSFS{ioerr_cnt}=="0x1"
  SYSFS{iorequest_cnt}=="0x472"
  SYSFS{model}=="C5110A     "
  SYSFS{queue_depth}=="1"
  SYSFS{queue_type}=="none"
  SYSFS{rev}=="3701"
  SYSFS{scsi_level}=="3"
  SYSFS{state}=="running"
  SYSFS{timeout}=="0"
  SYSFS{type}=="3"
  SYSFS{vendor}=="HP   "

 looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/platform/host0/target0:0:2':
  BUS==""
  ID=="target0:0:2"
  DRIVER=="unknown"

 looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/platform/host0':
  BUS==""
  ID=="host0"
  DRIVER=="unknown"

 looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/platform':
  BUS==""
  ID=="platform"
  DRIVER=="unknown"

Then I tried change the file /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules and added the following rows at the end of this file:

SUBSYSTEM!="scsi_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="libsane_rules_end"
# Hewlett-Packard|ScanJet 5p
SYSFS{idVendor}=="03f0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="C5110A", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"
LABEL="libsane_rules_end"

But I had to remove those lines from /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules because my nVidia MX4000 graphics card 3D acceleration did not work. When I removed those lines - 3D acceleration works again.

I also checked, that user is in group scanner.

But XSane 0.97 still does not find nothing. It just waiting forever.

Also if I run command

scanimage --list-devices

then also it will wait forever...

I tried also xscanimage but it also wait forever.

Tried to make symlink:

sudo ln -s /dev/sg0 /dev/scanner

... but it didn't help...

Did I make some mistake? Any ideas....?

Re: Ho to get work HP ScanJet 5p SCSI scanner?

This is also here written - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1433047

I added from Edgy Eft repository:
xsane-common_0.99+0.991-1ubuntu1_all.deb
xsane_0.99+0.991-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

I installed them just using sudo apt-get install and also tried to build them using sudo apt-get -b source xsane and then installed using sudo dpkg -i command but it did not help.

I also installed sane 1.0.18 and added to the file /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules the following row:

BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="C5110A", NAME="%k", MODE="0666"

But still no help. This row was in file /etc/udev/udev.rules in Edubuntu 5.10 and then it worked. But it seems like in Kubuntu 6.06 it does not work Also does Kubuntu 6.06 not have such file like /etc/udev/udev.rules
But I checked and found, that /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules has similar structure and I wrote this row there, made restart to PC - still nothing

So I have xsane 0.991, sane 1.0.18 and this row in /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules and still nothing...

Re: Ho to get work HP ScanJet 5p SCSI scanner?

Hi,

I have the same scanner and the same issue, but on Mepis6.

Could you try :

scanimage -d hp:/dev/scanner --help

or better :

scanimage -d hp:/dev/scanner > image.pnm

It works for me now ... but only from the command-line.

With xsane it only worked once. It was running as root ... and I could not repeat it.

... why is xsane still looking for devices if you start it with the device it should look for ?

Cheers, Ben

Re: Ho to get work HP ScanJet 5p SCSI scanner?

And that's what I have or did to get there :

Xsane is version 0.97, sane is 1.0.14-1.

1) I defined in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-mepis-overrides.rules :

# hp scanner
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="C5110A*", KERNEL="sg*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="scanner", MODE="0666"

2) In /etc/modules :

sym53c416


In the meantime, xsane is at 0.991 but that did not help either.

Re: Ho to get work HP ScanJet 5p SCSI scanner?

Hi again,

I have now xsane working with the HP Scanjet 5P.

As the problem is with the searching after scanning devices, I tried the following : limit the search for devices. Adding the scanner to the cmdline does not seem to limit the search.

So,

-> edit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, so it only contains now one entry :

hp

-> edit /etc/sane.d/hp.conf, it only contains :

/dev/scanner

-> removed (or rename) the directory /etc/sane.d/dll.d


After this :

$ scanimage -L
device `hp:/dev/sg1' is a Hewlett-Packard C5110A flatbed scanner
device `hp:/dev/scanner' is a Hewlett-Packard C5110A flatbed scanner



Cheers, Ben
