Hello to one & all,<br>
Just to let every on know I have just set-up my old AGFA SnapScan E40
scanner on Mandriva 2006, I first visited
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/">http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/</a> to check to see if the Scanner worked
with Linux. Thank fully it does but according to the info on the site
the setting on the system need tweaking and the <b>Snape40.bin</b>
file needs to be copied from a Bindows installation CD.<br>
<br>
I went through the Mandriva Configure Your Computer wizard's Hardware
scanner set-up and found that the said bin file was indeed needed,
thank fully I had it on floppy disk. After telling the scanner set-up
wizard that I wanted to install the Firmware file (the Snape40.bin
file) from floppy disk and then installing the XSANE software the
scanner worked fine. I hope this will be off use to someone else as it
is a lot easier that the long way round that is listed on the qbik web
site.<br>
