Using usb scanner DSmobile 620

I would like to utilize a Brother DSmobile 620 document scanner in Xfce 4.10. To that end, I downloaded the manufacturer's drivers as rpm, extracted via rpmextract.sh and copied the driver files to the respective root directories (etc, lib, usr). Thereafter, I installed sane 1.0.24. Upon plugging in the scanner, it is not recognized by sane.
lsusb | grep Brother
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04f9:60e0 Brother Industries, Ltd
sudo sane-find-scanner\
# No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel driver for your USB host controller and have setup
# the USB system correctly. See man sane-usb for details.
scanimage -L
# Only the webcam is identified
Any suggestions on getting this usb scanner to work?

Hi,
I want to use sane on solaris 9 with a fujitsu ScanPartner 620C.
I've already installed sane and changed /kernel/drv/sgen.conf. When I run sane-find-scanner, the following appears:
found SCSI scanner "FCPA ScanPartner 620C 2.02" at /dev/scsi/scanner/c1t4d0
# Your SCSI scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by SANE. Try
# scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have installed a
# kernel scanner module.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
but when I run scanimage -L, the following error occurs:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
May you help-me with this problem?

Connecting HP PSC 2355 All-in-One printer/scanner using USB cord

I have a Time Capsule that I use to back up both my Mac Mini and my MacBook Pro and would like to connect my HP PSC 2355 All-in-One Printer/Scanner to the network using USB cord and plugging it into the back of my TIme Capsule. I tried this once, but was unable to find the Printer. I would like to set it up so I could use both the Printer and the Scanner from either my MacMini or my MacBook Pro. It would be really cool if I could figure out a way to use Back to My Mac to print when I am away from home and using my MacBook Pro at a WiFi Hotspot. Is this possible? How can I do it? Suggestions? Thank you!

+would it be possible to split the USB cord coming from the Printer+
I'm afraid not. The connection must be direct to either the TC or your computer, but not both at the same time.
Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide will guide you through the process of setting up the printer. Unfortunately, Apple does not offer a printer compatibility list, so the only way to really know if your device is compatible is to try to see if it can be configured.
Perhaps HP would could help in this regard.

USB Scanner using SANE

Has anyone been able to get a USB Scanner to work with either an Ultra 5/10 or the SunBlades, or other Sun hardware under Solaris 8 or 9? I'm trying to get the SANE backends to work with my Ultra 10 which has a generic USB card installed. The main problem is that there appears to be no device driver for a USB scanner, so no device such as /dev/usb/scanner0 is being created. I have other working USB devices such as a USB hub, a HP printer, and a memory key storage device that are recognized as /dev/usb/hub0, /dev/usb/printer0, & /dev/usb/storage0, respectively. The system does see this USB scanner at boot time as it complains there is no device driver for it.
Thanks for any help given,

Remote Desktop and remote USB scanner

Hello, We currently use NeatWorks to scan our company receipts and docs. Several of our employees access the NeatWorks database remotely, via a locally installed NeatWorks application, the connection we use to the file is the simple Finder 'Connect to Server'. Because NeatWorks is not networkable, we access it one at a time.
The problem is the Neatworks database is huge, it can take 20 minutes to load remotely.
Our solution to this would be to use Remote Desktop to access our server that has the application and database for a quick load. The problem is scanning.
Can Remote Desktop connect to the users local USB scanner so that the scans go directly to the remote database? If not, is there any other elegant solution to this remote scan problem?
We were hoping to find a networkable program to replace NeatWorks that wouldn't load the entire database, just an index perhaps.
Thanks a million for any input!
John

Can the NeatWorks application on the server, see, connect to the USB scanner device on the user end.
That would not be a function of Apple Remote Desktop. The NeatWorks software would need to have code to access a remote scanner, either natively or using the Scanner Sharing feature of Mac OS X 10.6 (if that will support the USB scanner you're using).

Hangs iTunes unless using USB 1.1

I'd like to add my voice to the numerous problems on this forum with connecting and syncing the Shuffle with iTunes. While my Shuffle has been flaky as long as I can remember, it's pretty much unusable with iTunes 8.
In those moments of bliss when I can actually get the Shuffle to be recognized by the Mac, I've tried the dance of hard resetting the Shuffle, restoring it with the Reset Utility, erasing it on my MacBook and then erasing in on my G5, restarting the computer, resetting the PRAM, trashing com.apple.ipod.plist files, using different USB ports, and on and on.
Nothing will make this turkey work reliably. I'd say it fails at least 8-9 times out of 10 trying to connect and sync on this computer. I can't even change the settings without it hanging iTunes.
But wait ... it works fine, but slooooowly, when plugged into the USB 1.1 keyboard port. I'd dump this lemon for a nano, but I really like the small form factor.
Any other magic dance I can do?

I see the iTunes 8.0.1 update didn't do anything to correct this problem. I switched to USB 2.0 and copied over one podcast and it seemed to do so successfully. When I went to eject the Shuffle, it hung iTunes. When I got tired of waiting, I unplugged the shuffle and iTunes came back to life.
But then, my G5 spontaneously did a sleep/wake in about two seconds. The HP scanner software came to life thinking that I'd pressed a button on my scanner. Nope. So maybe the root cause is in the OS and the USB drivers?
Back to using USB 1.1.

OSX Lion & Brother Scanner DSmobile 600 will not install driver

OSX Lion 10.7.2
Hardware: Brother DSmobile 600 (USB)
Software Driver: DSmobile600_Mac_1_2_4.dmg (OSX 10.6-10.7)
Scanner driver does not install - Scanner does not work
Procedure
Launch the Brother installer - goes through install procedure - forces a required restart
looked in BotherScanner folder - nothing there
Apparently the installer is not actually installing anything except the folder
Looked at the installer content - cannot see anything to install
Do not have the driver form the old OSX
The Brother DSmobile USB scanner did work in OSX6
Any solutions?

I discovered the asnwer to my own question for the benifit of anyone else.
Turn off all anti-virus software!
If you disable any installed security virus /network software etc., download the latest brother DS600 scanner dirver. the Brother scanning driver will install.
however you may have to run any repair software you have afterwards. e.g. Tech Tool Pro 6 and Cocktail.
The Brother DS600 scannr driver install is kind of rough.
The Brother DS600 Mobile scanner does work in Lion 10.7.2
In addition, the Brother DS600 mobile scanner driver installs in WIN 7. Same scenario turn off all anti-virus software before install. works

Can't use Hp scanner ap.

Can't use Hp Scanner ap. Get the following message:
Scanner reported an error
HP Officejet Pro 8610 is currently unavailable. Please check if it is turned on and connected, or try again later.
I can scan using the Printer & Scanner Ap in System Preferences. Also my MacBook Pro can use the Scanner Ap. Hp says its a Mac issue. Anyone else have this problem?

Hello there JDB38,
If you still havent bveen able to use the scanner, I would recommend using the troubleshooting in the following article to help you resolve that. The title mentions printers, but the steps are the same for scanners:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

USB scanner permissions

Okay, I'm totally confused.
I have a Canon Lide-30 USB scanner which I have used under Arch Linux many times--but not for 2 or 3 months. However, I was never able to configure hotplug to set the permissions automatically; I always had to become root and manually set the permissions in order to access the scanner as a regular user. Now, of course, the devices are all different (I mostly keep up with the latest release, don't really use testing packages, so I now have kernel 2.6.14).
Here's what's happening:
I plugged in the scanner's USB cable after booting (my machine's been up continuously for a few days, so I would have to shut down to do otherwise).
Loaded the uhci-hcd module ... now /proc/bus/usb is mounted, and it contains a node for my scanner.
Run sane-find-scanner as root:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x220e [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:002
Run sane-find-scanner as myself: same as above
Run xsane as root: OK.
Run xsane as myself: No devices found.
# chmod 777 /dev/usbdev1.2 (which I think represents the scanner)
# chmod 777 /dev/usbdev1.1
# chmod 777 /proc/bus/usb/001/002
# chmod 777 /proc/bus/usb/001/001
No change. I still can't access the scanner as myself.
By the way, it appears that the hotplug daemon won't start, though I'm not quite sure why. There are no files in /var/log/hotplug. In /var/log/errors, I see
DEVPATH is not set (subsystem pci)
But according to a brief Google search, this is not a serious problem.
So what's the magic formula?

Have you read this?

Can't use scsi scanner?

I have a Sharp JX-320 scanner. I've been using it on an older Mac, but I want to get rid of some clutter and use it on my Mac G4 OS X Tiger.
It shows up through System Profiler (see profile below). But when I try to scan, either through Photoshop's scanning plugin or through VueScan, the scanning utilities are unable to find the scanner. This happens whether I work in OS X (using Photoshop 7 or VueScan), or in Classic (Photoshop 6)
The scanner is plugged in to the scsi card, is the only thing on the chain, and is terminated. I can't really figure out what the scsi device number is, or how to change it, if that might be the problem.
What's going on? Is there any way to get the scanner to show up?
SCSI Parallel Domain 65536:
Initiator Identifier: 7
SHARP JX320 SCSI:
Manufacturer: SHARP
Model: JX320 SCSI
Revision: 071I
SCSI Target Identifier: 4
SCSI Logical Unit Identifier: 0

Well, I only tried downloading the VueScan utility since the Photoshop plugins aren't working. I couldn't find my scanner in their unsupported list, but I didn't really expect it to work. (I was testing for an OS X native scanning utility, but it's not worth paying the $50 to license the utility when I can get a USB scanner for about the same cost.)
Unfortunately, this computer won't boot in OS 9: I can only run OS 9.2.2 in Classic.
In PS 7 my plug-in doesn't work. It doesn't even show up. Which is about what I'd expect. But I can't find an OS X plug-in for PS 7.
In Classic, I've tried it both in PS 4 and PS 6. The utility opens as it always has on my OS 8.6 and OS 9.2.2 Macs. But when I try to scan, I get an error (GPIB Device "DEV7"not found).
Any idea why the scanner would show up in System Profiler, but not be found by the scanning utility?
Any idea if there's something that can be done to "fix" that?
Any idea where I could get an OS X plug-in for Photoshop 7 that might work with this scanner?
Thanks for any advice or help.

My Aztec 1236 USB scanner stumped Tiger.

Hi. I bought an Aztec 1236 USB scanner used for five bucks. It came with nothing. I was lucky enough to find the model number. It's vintage but the price fit my post-buying-a-mac budget.
I managed to dig up a Win XP driver for it w/ the accompanying photoshop bits (not a plugin, actually had an installer). The scanner works slow, but fine. But I want my PC free to do other things.
But Tiger can't see it when I plug it in, let alone know what to do with it. I tried the Image Capture device browser TWAIN trick--and it ain't showing. I can't find a Mac OS X driver for it anywhere, not even w/ Google.
Anybody know how I can save the hundred bucks and avoid buying a new scanner? Anybody found a Tiger driver for my classy, antique flatbed?

I don't know where you get your information but Apple doesn't claim "it just works with everything." No computer can truly make that claim. Apple does, however, provide a list of known compatible devices. Consulting this available information would help you avoid making a mistake by purchasing incompatible hardware.
It's up to the peripheral manufacturer to make compatible drivers. If your scanner doesn't work on a Mac then the problem is with its manufacturer not with Apple.
You purchased a cheap used scanner without knowing in advance whether a driver would be available for the Mac. This is your oversight. Ranting at Apple (which, btw, is not appropriate here) is simply trying to shift the blame from where it really lies.

Switching USB Scanner Between Users on the Same Machine - Mavericks 10.9.3

I have a neat scanner connected to my mac via USB. My wife and I both use the scanner and have separate accounts on the same machine.
The issue is that the scanner gets "connected" to either one user or the other. Let's say the scanner is working fine for user A. User B can't
use the scanner properly. It seems like first come first serve. When user B pushes the scan button on the device and user B is the active account
on OSX. User A's account still gets the popup window responding to the scan request.
I guess I am looking for a terminal command, or some procedure, so that user B can come in and gain access to the scanner without logging out user A.
Ideally some kind of USB release / reset command etc. etc.

For posterity, here is one solution to the problem I discovered: cycle power on the scanner.
Cycling power seems to release ownership. Whichever user then uses the scanner next will then latch ownership. To break ownership another power cycle is required. Easy enough I guess since the scanner is connected by USB (and therefore close to the computer). A little surprised that the OS does not manage this automatically.

Visioneer 7100 USB Scanner --- Need driver

As the subject states, I need a driver for the Visioneer 7100 USB scanner. I just bought my first Mac this month, the 20" imac, and now I'm trying to hook everything together. The system profile scans the USB ports and find the Visioneer scanner. But when I use Vuescan or other software applications to use the scanner, the application comes back with scanner not found. Visioneer does not have a Mac driver. SANE shows the scanner as unsupported. I've done some searching on the internet but still am not having any luck. The kind people at Apple Help tried, but could not help and directed me to this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THX

1. The Visioneer 7100 is NOT supported by VueScan.
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#visioneer
2. Visioneer says: "This product is classified as END OF LIFE."
3. The last update to the "OneTouch 7100 Scanner Installation and Configuration Guide" was over 7 years ago on April 16, 2002.
http://support.visioneer.com/products/7100/downloads.asp
4. I think you need to buy a new scanner. The Visioneer 9520 is $90 USD. But, it is not supported by VueScan.
5. I would spend some time reading the posts in http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1344 to get an idea of what would be a good scanner to buy.
6. I really like our MicroTek scanner, but certainly could not recommend it: http://www.microtekusa.com/
7. You might want to consider a used scanner that is supported by VueScan.

Canon USB scanner

I thought macs were supposed to just work with stuff like scanners.
I have a Canon CanoScan N670U USB scanner and I plugged it into the Mac and nothing. It is supposed to get its power from the mac as well so its not lighting up or anything.
I've tried the USB ports on the rear and the one on the keyboard and no difference.
I also checked the Canon site for drivers for OS X but nothing stands out.
Any ideas?

That's right. the USB port on the keyboard is a secondary port that gets less power than the one directly on the computer. I've experienced this when using some types of USB flash memory pens. Some of them don't work when plugged into the keyboard but work fine plugged into the computer.
Your scanner won't work at all unless you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for your particular model, from the Canon website. I have to say Canon (unlike Epson) have been very good at updating all their drivers for the latest version of OSX including Intel.
The one problem is that the Canon website is a bit of a labyrinth. You have to find your way through it until you've found EXACTLY the drivers you need for your particular model of scanner, in the correct language.
You may then find that there are actually TWO components you need to download: one to drive the scanner itself, and another to use it (this is called Canoscan Toolbox, or something like that). You'll need to install both.
Once you've done that you should be fine. Rather than low-powered USB sockets it's likely that you need these updated drivers.

Usb scanner with root permissions only

Hello
When I open xsane with regular a user, the scanner does not get detected by it. Only when I open xsane as root.
That's probably a permission issue. My user is added to the scanner group.
How would I correct this?
Thanks

Write a udev rule to identify the scanner and give it the right user group & permissions. Google search is your friend
Just to confuse the hell out of us, different distros use different group names. Some have "scanner", some use "usb", some don't even have "usb".
Example: In /etc/udev/rules.d/91-local.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="CanoScan", GROUP="usb", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="lide25"
I googled it quite a bit to find out this process is rather difficult for newbies. I even read udev wiki but I can't come up with a rule myself. The gentoo forum post you referenced has udevinfo command while it has been replaced with udevadm and the script wouldn't work.
Would you give me more directions?

USB Scanner Permissions without hotplug

After getting rid of hotplug, the permissions for my usb scanner aren't set to scanner:root anymore. Udev is supposed to take care of everything hotplug used to do, but it doesn't seem to do this automatically. Could anyone explain how I can make udev set the permissions correctly for my usb scanner?

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot I had made my own sane-package, since a former version broke the support for my scanner (Epson CX3200), but that's fixed now. I updated Sane, and everything works. (Still, I have to replug the scanner after booting, for the permissions to get set, though)
