[Hp5400backend-devel] Installation of the hp5400 backend under Suse Linux 8.0

[Frank H. <fra...@un...>]

HelloThomas,
here is my discription of the installation process.
Frank

Installation of the hp5400 backend under Suse Linux 8.0:

/**/ Download hp5400-sane-backend_20030304.tar.gz
/**/ Download sane-backends-1.0.11

// Installation of sane-backends-1.0.11:
Unpack sane-backends-1.0.11 (I normaly use ark (kde).):
=09tar -xvzf sane-backends-1.0.11.tar.gz

Set the directories like in Suse (otherwise read sane-backends-1.0.11/REA=
DME):
=09./configure --prefix=3D/usr --sysconfdir=3D/etc

=09make

=09make install

(The preinstalled sane package must not be uninstalled. Then you have no=20
problems with rpm- dependencies.)

// Installation of hp5400-sane-backend:
Unpack hp5400-sane-backend_20030304.tar.gz:
in same partition as /usr/lib/sane e.g.:
=09tar -xvzC /usr/lib/sane -f hp5400-sane-backend_20030304.tar.gz=20
=09cd /usr/lib/sane/hp5400/
(or make install may not work and you have to copy after make:
 cp sane-hp5400.so /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp5400.so.1)

modify hp5400/Makefile (you have to insert the right path of course) (ned=
it=20
Makefile):
SANE_BACKEND_SRC=3D/home/frank/sane-backends-1.0.11 and
SANE_LIBS_DIR=3D/usr/lib/sane

=09make

=09make install

Modify hp5400.conf (nedit hp5400.conf):
#Linux:
/dev/usbscanner

cp hp5400.conf /etc/sane.d

Add line in dll.conf (nedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf):
hp5400

Check if /dev/usbscanner exists:
=09ls /dev/usb*

Check if the "scanner" kernel module is loaded:

=09lsmod
usbcore                55136   1  [scanner usb-ohci]
scanner                 8480   0=20

If not add in /etc/modules.conf:
alias /dev/usbscanner scanner
options scanner vendor=3D0x3f0 product=3D0x1105

=09modprobe scanner

For more convenience (module loaded at bootup) add in /etc/init.d/boot.lo=
cal:
modprobe scanner

Checks:
Scanner attached to the usbport?:
=09lsusb
Scanner recognised by sane?:
=09sane-find-scanner
Scanner supported by sane:
=09scanimage -L

If sane-find-scanner finds the scanner and scanimage not, try
=09scanimage -d hp5400:/dev/usbscanner > out.pnm
=09(check the image with "gimp out.pnm" e.g.)
or
=09xsane hp5400:/dev/usbscanner
If this works something is wrong with /etc/sane.d/dll.conf or=20
/etc/sane.d/hp5400.conf.
