Without it, scanimage -L won't even try to recognise the scanner. The configuration file /etc/sane.d/epjitsu.conf has to have a "firmware" stanza pointing to the right file.</ins> <p><ins>There are pointers for finding the file in the aforementioned configuration file, but at least for me, things were a little bit different. After installing the driver on a Windows box, the firmware was in c:\WINDOWS\SSDriver\S300 with the name 300_0C00.nal (not 300_0A00.nal as advertised in SANE's documentation).</ins> <p><ins>As not every ScanSnap S300 owner has a Windows box available, I put the firmware on my web page for download: http://members.sange.fi/~atehwa/300_0C00.nal</ins> <p><ins>(I don't think there's anything evil doing so, because the firmware is of little use without the physical device.)</ins> Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:19:11 +0000
