[SOLVED] scanimage failed: Invalid argument

[bobferrell]

Hello,

I am probably doing something wrong (as usual) but I am unable to get scanimage to work with my scanner. It's strange because XSane and SimpleScan work with no problems.

In the terminal, I type in scanimage --list and get

Code: Select all

$ scanimage --list
device `avision:libusb:001:013' is a Avision AV8050U flatbed scanner

However when I try scanimage --help -d avision:libusb:001:013, I get

Code: Select all

scanimage: open of device avision:libusb:001:013 failed: Invalid argument
Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.

List of available devices:
    avision:libusb:001:013

Any suggestions?

Bob

EDIT: I was doing something wrong. If I don't specify the device name it works. Sorry for the unnecessary post.
