SANE driver (or other software) for my film strip scanner?

I took advantage of a cheap (£40) offer from Aldi and bought a "Tevion Film Strip Scanner" which nominally is only meant to work on Windows XP and Vista. On Arch, lsusb identifies the device as:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05a9:1550 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. VEHO Filmscanner
and it looks identical to the particular model: Veho VFS-004
I've done quite a bit of searching, and found some hints in forums that SANE might support it, but no evidence of this on the SANE site. Also, Avision drivers for film scanners were mentioned, but no go either when I tried to tweak /etc/sane.d/avision.conf with the device info. Also, I tried the VueScan program which was also hinted to work, but got "scanner not found".
I do have access to Windows to use the device on, but it would be great if anyone knew how it could be accessed on Arch.

Hi,
No OCR software came with your printer, it may cost more than the printer itself. There are many OCR software around, you can purchase one or please try:

    Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows how can I download them with out the install cd?

    Or for the same price you can order a new Snow Leopard disk. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    That would give you Boot Camp 3.0 drivers. With Snow Leopard and Boot Camp 3.0 you can install Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. With Lion and Boot Camp 4.0 you can only install Windows 7. If you install Lion with Boot Camp 3 and XP or Vista already on it it will work.

    I purchased a new Creative Plug and play WebCam which I could not get to work although it worked on shops Desk Top. I returned it and the shop changed it for a  Microsoft WebCam but the same thing happened. I have since tried to use 2 separate pen drives and the drivers will not down load. Existing plug and play such as my external Hard drive work as normal so the problem has only risen for new equipment. Don't know how long ago but this has been going on for 6 months. I have also successfully installed the Camera on my old desk top without any problems. Any help someone can give would be very much appreciated.

    2) Have you checked within Device Manager for any Yellow or red flagged USB ports?

  • Driver or installation software for ipod?

    Hi, I got a used 2G ipod nano and, even though I have the latest version of iTunes installed, my Mac doesn't respond to the ipod in any way, nor the ipod to it. I've tried different computers, ports, and USB cables. Is there some sort of installation software or driver that is needed to get the computer to acknowledge the ipod?

    everyone is having same problem it's pretty simple i guess. when prompted for the cd, select "i don't have cd, show other options" or something like that. then click on the browse button and type C:\WINDOWS\system32 or select manually. do this three times, so that the computer installs the 3 necessary drivers. and then your ipod is ready.

  • What's the best external dvd drive (including Mac software) for an iMAC

    Would like to know.

    Assembly of External Drive Solution
    1) Take out the optical drive (DVR-112D-BK) from its box, and slide it into the tray mechanism, and align the black plastic facia (the front of the drive) with the front edge of the case so it's a flush fit, so it looks like it belongs there. There are 4 small phillips head bright, polished screws in the kit...put those aside for now, but you'll use those to fasten down the drive in the tray after everything's buttoned up
    2) Attach the 40-pin/80-wire ATA/100 cable to the drive. It *only goes on one way*, as you'll see a notch at the top that fits into the notch in the back of the drive...you can't install it but one way, the right way. BE CAREFUL to not bend those pins, and get all 40 pins aligned before you push it on. Secure it well, pushing it *all the way in*; it has to be 100% onto the pins.
    3) Attach the power Molex connector to the drive; it also only fits one way. Once again, push it in *all the way* so it "snaps" a little...you'll feel it do that, and then it's secure.
    4) Attach the 4-pin sound board pigtail to the small 4-pin slot, to the LEFT of the ATA/100 connector/cable. It can be fitted either way, but be sure to fit it with the notch on the pigtail toward the left side of the drive
    5) Make sure that everything's hooked up, and do a final alignment of the drive in the tray (it should move in the tray with a little force from your thumbs, easily), again making the front aligned with the front of the case, so it looks OEM nice.
    6) Now use those 4 phillips screws to secure the drive onto the side of the tray. Don't overtighten the screws! Just a snug torque is good.
    7) Take the silver case cover and slide it over the tray, until it's snug with the back of the tray. It should be *perfectly aligned* and fully compressed so there's no gap between the case and the tray...be careful closing the tray on the LED's power wires by the way...just tuck them inside of the tray so when you close it the thing doesn't get in the way.
    Finally) Use those two long black screws to secure the tray and the case aluminum cover through the two holes *in the back of the tray*, and again...*don't overtighten those screws!*...just a snug torque is all that's needed.
    You're done!
    Now hook it up to your Mac via FireWire, and do an Apple System Profiler report and *make sure it's supported* by your System: highlight "Disc Burning" and see if it says "Apple Shipped/Supported" in the right display window, which it will say if you're using 10.4.3 or higher. If you're running Panther 10.3.9 you have to use Patchburn.
    Basically, what PatchBurn does, is generate a new System Profile for the optical drive in question, and it does so for a huge variety of drives, not just Pioneer drives. Once the profile is in your System, simply restart your Mac, and Viola! Instantly your new drive will be available to work with all the iApps, that is iTunes, iMovie, iDVD etc, and it will be integrated with all Finder functions also. That means the drive will then function with Disk Utility's "Burn" commands in all applications, and Disk Utility itself.
    Please don't worry if you try to use your new drive combo and it doesn't work, or isn't recognized by your Mac...just do the above procedure with PatchBurn v3.x for 10.3.x, or v4.x, for 10.4.x, and all will be fine!

  • Toshiba 32GB Flash Drive and lock software for Ubuntu

    Got myself a 32GB Toshiba Usb Flash Drive which comes with lock software. Works fine in Vista but if I stick it in my Ubuntu driven desktop, the files on the drive can be accessed or copied or deleted, so the software what comes with the drive is pretty useless as security.
    Any suggestions please?

    Hi Gumnut,
    What Toshiba flash drive you have exactly because there are different models on the market? Im not owner of such flash drive but as far as I know Toshiba doesnt support Linux so this software will not run on Linux so the drive isnt locked.
    You can also contact Toshiba directly. I found an e-mail address on Toshiba memory product page:

  • How to download iphoto and other software for other macs from the liscensed version from a new mac

    I purchased a macbook pro in Dec 2011 and was told I could download software from app store (ilife, OSX, etc) for up to two other macs based on the software liscense agreement. Can anybody tell me where to find instructions on how to do this? Thanks. TJW

    You need to have accepted the iLife suit into your Mac App Store account from the Mac App Store app on your new Mac. Then you should be able to open the Mac App Store on the other Macs with at least Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and download the apps after signing into your account.
    There is not a two Mac limit. You are able to download your Mac App Store apps on every Mac that you own or have in your control, which would include Macs issued to you by your emplyer or an educational institution.

  • HT204382 avi software for viewing films

    file:///Volumes/NO%20NAME/El%20Cid%20-%20La%20Leyenda(1).avi
    I would like to reproduce a film which is in a format called avi...
    Does somebody know in what way I can get it?
    What,s the software that I need?

    Try Perian. As AVI is a container, not a format, Perian won't work with all AVIs, and it's impossible to tell just from its name what software will work or if there's even a Mac OS X component which will.

  • Safety issues while using Sleepless & other software for iOS 10.7.4

    Hi All,
    I just wanted to know if it was safe to use software that lets you bypass the sleep mode on a mac book pro. Also is it safe to use software that alous you to controle the fan, ect. If it is ok then which software is best to use?

    I'm not sure why you'd want to 'bypass' sleep mode, but you can do that through Energy Saver by setting Sleep to "Never," no third-party software needed. There are applications that let you control your fans but unless you're having problems, for instance, with your fans speeding up enough to control heat I find them useless and potentially harmful - Apple does a good job of fan control and if you're having problems then it's likely a hardware or software problem that can be solved with a SMC reset.

  • Nokia drive and other apps for other windows phone...

    i saw on the net abt the pirated versions of nokia s best gps app being used on other windows phones and with partnership of microsoft will there be nokia apps available officially on the marketplace ..? and m confused between nokia 710 and samsung omnia w.. both priced the same and omnia with front cam but i need the gps navigation for sure more than frnt cam..now the point is if nokia makes their apps available for other devices then no point in buyin any phone in intrest .. i got this doubt coz i read nokia maps coming to other devices and also the EA games ???? pls suggest

    I would not bother getting a nokia at the moment.....
    If you can live without nokia drive for now then i would hold back for atleast 6 months and see what happens.
    Nokia have slipped down the chain a bit and are not as almighty as they use to be.
    There are loads of probs with the Lumia 800 and the 710 is not all that good compared to nokia's of old.
    I got the 710 because of nokia drive and it is no where near as good as the old Ovi navigation...
    In fact the whole phone is a let down....with poor camara, poor sat nav, poor speaker and poor battery...
    The Actual phone is a nice design and the screen is not bad...WP7.5 looks interesting but still needs a lot of work to catch up with the others.
    Not sure what the Omnia is like...but if i knew then what i know now about the 710 i would of gone for the HTC Radar and just used my N8 for Sat Nav.

  • Other software for iPhone

    Is there any good way to tell what is safe to use with my iPhone and what is not supported? I see all kinds of new iPhone apps coming out left and right, but to my knowledge there are only one or two apps that Apple has released. Of course web apps are fine, but am I correct in assuming that anything that actually gets installed on the iPhone is not supported?

    There's a beta 3rd party AIM client. A remote control for your Mac. But they seem to involve bypassing some sort of locks on the iPhone -- which I'm not willing to do, as the point Steve Jobs made about installing native uncertified apps on a mobile phone can pose problems if it introduces conflicts since a phone is supposed to, you know, work.
