Can't get scanner to work

[reid_barrett]

The scanner worked on 15.6 . It is a canoscan lide 600f .
It is recognized in the usb devices . i have wheel permission . backends are loaded .
I tried xsane , skanpage and scanlite andthey all said the scanner was not found .

tried this under root :

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.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

Did you make sure the respective backend is uncommented in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf?

So, it’s a CanoScan LiDE 600, judging by the product code 0x2224?

If so you have to make sure the line canon_lide70
in the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
is not commented (no #)

You should also make sure you have the file /etc/sane.d/canon_lide70.conf on your system.

For me it got shipped with sane but by default all the backend in the dll.conf-file are commented.

I uncommented canon_Lide70.conf and xsane started right up
and works . Thanks for the quick help .
