ZoneO-tips for Mandriva Linux

Minolta Scan Dual III and mandrake 9.0

How do you use a scanner Minolta Scan Dual III with Mandrake Linux 9.0?

 
 

Lucky me... I bought a scanner! A nice little slide and negative scanner from Minolta, 2800pdi, going for 34000 yens. I worked fine under windows, but obviously, when I plugged it into my mandrake 9.0, nothing came out: it was too new for my kernel. As usual, I did my search on google, and found this page that gave me the trick:

  • check /proc/bus/usb/devices for line like
    P: Vendor=0686 ProdID=400d Rev= 0.01
    S: Manufacturer=MINOLTA
    S: Product=DiMAGE Scan Dual3
    and deduce the vendor and product ID.
  • Add the line
    options scanner vendor=0x#### product=0x****
    into the file /etc/modules.conf where #### is the vendor ID and **** the product ID. So in my case the exact line is
    options scanner vendor=0x0686 product=0x400d
  • restart the kernel scanner module:
    rmmod scanner; modprobe scanner
  • stop the scanner, restart it, and it should work. In my case the /proc/bus/usb/devices had a line like
    I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbscanner
    (if you have "Driver=(none)", there is a problem) and the device got attached to /dev/usb/scanner0 as show in /var/log/messages
I now had to find some software to scan. Sane is the free software, but I was told it wasn't great for what I wanted to do. On the other hand VueScan worked perfectly well, and it's only 60$...

As of mandrake 9.2, none of that is necessary, the scanner just works with VueScan without editing any file. On top of that VueScan is now free for home users...
