Hi all!!!

I am trying to setup my canon FB330P (it is on the supported list) my xsane and xsane-backends are fairly updated according to synaptic. I tried looking for more updated rpm but found non for FC3

when i run xsane it will scan for a supported device then gives up saying no device available

anybody have this problem before?

hope to here from you soon

regards

Is this a USB printer? I didn't see anything about USB in the `dmesg`.

You can use `/usr/sbin/lshw` (which will output more as root), or perhaps `usbview` to tell you more info.

Try running xsane as root. Also, lshw find it?

Hi Jebba

I was away from this computer so I was not able to try your suggestion right away....

Anyway..... executing xsane as root yilelded the same result nada! with the additional warning about it is dagerous to run xsane as root.

Also lshw (which is located in /usr/sbin, for those who wish to know) showed up nothing about parallel port. Here is the listing
