[gentoo-user] HP ScanJet 7670

Hello,

I've never set up a scanner on gentoo (or any other
linux before).

So here's what I've done. Looking at the sane
website I see support for these models:

http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-hp5590.5.html

ScanJet 7650 is listed as basic support.

I have a HP Scanjet 7670, so it should work?


lsusb lists the devices like this:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002


dmesg shows nothing.

sane-find-scanner reveals this:

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=0x0403 [FTDI],
product=0x6001 [UC232R]) at libusb:002:002
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.


so am I out of luck? I have this installed:

media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.19-r2 USE="ipv6 usb
v4l -doc -gphoto2"


replugging the usb cable does not make the device appear on
the usb bus?


any ideas?

Well, monkeying around with all the cables It now registers
as a:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 03f0:0601 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 6300c


scanimage -L
device `hp:libusb:002:005' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 63x0C flatbed scanner


So I guess I need some advice as to a software front end or some syntax
examples to use the scanner. It has an ADF, Automatic Document Feeder,
which work be keen to get working or figure out how to use. It works fine
under windows with the scsi card. I'ts not on a gentoo system via a
usb cable.....

The sane website says support is "complete".....
any suggestions are most welcome.
