Hi Ilya, > can i use Umax Astra 1220S (scsi) scanner in FreeBsd? According to http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html it should work. I'm using an Umax S-12, which is an predecessor of yours. So your chances are good. > kernel sees it as: > pass4 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 > pass4: <UMAX Astra 1220S V1.2> Fixed Scanner SCSI-2 device > pass4: 3.300MB/s transfers Make sure you have the appropriate device /dev/pass4 . If not create it with the MAKEDEV script in /dev > but i dont see any drivers for scanners in LINT (except one hand scanner). I have in my kernel config (stripped to SCSI related): device cd #SCSI CD-ROMs device da #SCSI direct access devices (aka disks) device pass #CAM passthrough driver device scbus #base SCSI code device sym # NCR/Symbios Logic (newer chipsets) The last line must fit your SCSI controller of course. If you only have your scanner as SCSI device, you can omit the cd and da options. The scanner driver itself is provided by the sane program, not the kernel. If you prefer a graphical interface, install xsane, too ( /usr/ports/graphics/xsane will install sane and xsane in one step). If there is gimp on your system, this will even include a plugin for gimp, so you can scan directly out of gimp.
