Neatreceipts Scanner

[Understudy]

Hi All,

I have FreeBSD 7.0 on a T42. I have installed :
sane-backends-1.0.19_1 API for access to scanners, digitals camera,
frame grabbers
xsane-0.995_2       Gtk-based X11 frontend for SANE (Scanner Access Now
Easy)

I copied cism216 to /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/. I plugged in the
scanner and still get the ugen0. I did a chmod 666 on /dev/ugen0  and it
still can't recognize it as user. if I do xsane & as su it will come up
and recognize the device.

Now when I try to scan the device it will come up as Failed to start
scanner: Device busy.

Here are the results of a SANE run:
Gargoyle# sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x07b3, product=0x0412 [600dpi USB Scanner],
chip=GT-6816) at libusb:/dev/usb1:/dev/ugen0
Gargoyle# scanimage -L
device `gt68xx:libusb:/dev/usb1:/dev/ugen0' is a Plustek OpticSlim M12
flatbed scanner

Sincerely,
Brendhan

Did you read the Readme file for BSD?, something IIRC with permissions
also for group scanner?

Cool thank you.
I am reading the README.freebsd file. I believe this is the part that
pertains to me.
USB-scanners:
-------------
USB-Scanners are supported by FreeBSD. The USB scanner driver "uscanner"
and
access over libusb can be used.

For some backends (e.g. gt68xx) you MUST use libusb. The uscanner driver
won't
work because it doesn't support control messages or interrupt endpoints.

If you want to use libusb, your scanner should *not* be claimed by the
uscanner
driver. Make sure, that /dev/ugen* and /dev/usb* devices are available. Use
/dev/MAKEDEV to create them, if necessary. Make sure that the user has
write
access to the appropriate device files.

Now my quick question. When I plug in the Neatreceipts scanner it
creates /dev/ugen0.
Should I unplug the scanner and use /dev/MAKEDEV to create one that has
the appropriate permissions? Or should I let it create it when I plug it
in and then change the permissions?

Sincerely,
Brendhan
