Hello everyone,
I posted an email sometime back asking for help getting my scanner to work under
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. Upon not receiving any responses, I did some more research
and tinkering and decided to update to FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE to see if that would
fix the problem and it has not. In any event, when I try to scan something as
root, I receive the following error:
ast# sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0205) at /dev/uscanner0
ast# scanimage -L
device `niash:/dev/uscanner0' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300C flatbed scanner
ast# scanimage > image.pnm
scanimage: open of device niash:/dev/uscanner0 failed: Device busy
I have read the chapter on scanning in the Handbook, as well as doing Google
searching and even posting to the sane-devel list. Does anyone else have any
insight that they can give with this problem? I can get sane-backends, with
libusb, to work with this scanner on my PowerBook running Mac OS X 10.3, so I
know the scanner and the software should work; I just think I have something
misconfigured, either with it or with something else. In case it is necessary,
my uname output is below and the full list of installed packages is beneath it.
Thank you for your help.
