Need 64bit Artec scanner driver

balu · 2008-12-15 16:54:07

I am running 64bit Arch and am trying to setup my ArtecE+48u scanner. But I am unable to get it working. I had this working on 32bit OSs earlier and I recently upgraded to 64bit OS.

I have installed sane and xsane.

bash-3.2# pacman -Q xsane
xsane 0.996-1
bash-3.2# pacman -Q sane
sane 1.0.19-2

sane-find-scanner is able to find the scanned but scanimage -L does not. I have double checked the physical connections too, that is not the issue.

I suspect the issue is becase the /usr/share/sane/artec_eplus48u/Artec48.usb is 32bit ( found this file on my driver CD meant for windows). Has anyone overcome this issue? Do we have a 64bit driver for this devce?

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Balu

Try sane in 32bit chroot with the same driver.

I believe that architecture is only a factor if the driver has dependencies. 64 bit processors run 32 bit binaries fine if it has everything that it needs. For instance, wifi drivers are self contained and work across architectures. With that being said, if sane-find-scanner can see it, but scanimage can't, I'd guess that it's a configuration issue.

You could try changing file name from Artec48.usb to 1200.usb.
My mustek scanner works only with proper driver name.

I tried renaming the driver file to 1200.usb and reflected tha change in /etc/sane.d/artec_eplus48u.conf but no luck.

I trield mutiple things after that and last thing I remember doing is re-installing sane and xsane. And also commenting the unwanted stuff in artec_eplus48u.conf. Now my scanner is detected and xsane works.

Thanks for all the responses.

Here's my artec_eplus48u.conf.
