sane-find-scanner - find SCSI and USB scanners and their
device files
SYNOPSIS
sane-find-scanner [-h|-?] [-v] [-q] [-p] [-f] [-F filename]
[devname]
DESCRIPTION
sane-find-scanner is a command-line tool to find SCSI and
USB scanners and determine their Unix device files. Its pri-
mary aim is to make sure that scanners can be detected by
SANE backends.
For SCSI scanners, it checks the default generic SCSI device
files (e.g., /dev/sg0) and /dev/scanner. The test is done
by sending a SCSI inquiry command and looking for a device
type of "scanner" or "processor" (some old HP scanners seem
to send "processor"). So sane-find-scanner will find any
SCSI scanner connected to those default device files even if
it isn't supported by any SANE backend.
For USB scanners, first the USB kernel scanner device files
(e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0), /dev/usb/scanner, and /dev/usb-
scanner) are tested. The files are opened and the vendor and
device ids are determined, if the operating system supports
this feature. Currently USB scanners are only found this way
if they are supported by the Linux scanner module or the
FreeBSD or OpenBSD uscanner driver. After that test, sane-
find-scanner tries to scan for USB devices found by the USB
library libusb (if available). There is no special USB class
for scanners, so the heuristics used to distinguish scanners
from other USB devices is not perfect. sane-find-scanner
also tries to find out the type of USB chip used in the
scanner. If detected, it will be printed after the vendor
and product ids. sane-find-scanner will even find USB scan-
ners, that are not supported by any SANE backend.
sane-find-scanner won't find most parallel port scanners, or
scanners connected to proprietary ports. Some parallel port
scanners may be detected by sane-find-scanner -p. At the
time of writing this will only detect Mustek parallel port
scanners.
OPTIONS
-h, -? Prints a short usage message.
-v Verbose output. If used once, sane-find-scanner
shows every device name and the test result. If
used twice, SCSI inquiry information and the USB

device descriptors are also printed.
-q Be quiet. Print only the devices, no comments.
-p Probe parallel port scanners.
-f Force opening all explicitly given devices as SCSI
and USB devices. That's useful if sane-find-scanner
is wrong in determining the device type.
-F filename
filename is a file that contains USB descriptors in
the format of /proc/bus/usb/devices as used by
Linux. sane-find-scanner tries to identify the
chipset(s) of all USB scanners found in such a file.
This option is useful for developers when the output
of "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" is available but the
scanner itself isn't.
devname Test device file "devname". No other devices are
checked if devname is given.
EXAMPLE
sane-find-scanner -v
Check all SCSI and USB devices for available scanners and
print a line for every device file.
sane-find-scanner /dev/scanner
Look for a (SCSI) scanner only at /dev/scanner and print the
result.
sane-find-scanner -p
Probe for parallel port scanners.

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
USB support is limited to Linux (kernel, libusb), FreeBSD
(kernel, libusb), NetBSD (libusb), OpenBSD (kernel, libusb).
Detecting the vendor and device ids only works with Linux or
libusb.
SCSI support is available on Irix, EMX, Linux, Next, AIX,
Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and HP-UX.
BUGS
No support for most parallel port scanners yet.
Detection of USB chipsets is limited to a few chipsets.
