IRIScan Question
I have a portable document scanner called and made by IRIScan. Again, still learning Linux (6th day), so sorry for the nursery questions.
I want to install my scanner but I don't know where to begin. Do I just pop the CD in and follow the prompts?
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks!
KP

No, the CD you have will be a Windows driver CD. Ubuntu is not Windows, it is a distribution of Linux.
How does the device attach to the system?

ko connect the device and wait 10 seconds, then run:
dmesg | tail -n 15; lsusb
What is output?

ok try:
gksudo gedit /etc/sane.
add these 3 lines:
usb 0x07b3 0x045f
override "plustek-
firmware "/usr/share/
Save the new file and close gedit, then run:
cd ~; wget http://
May just make it work after a reboot

This didn't work. Even when I installed this on Windows 7 I had a hard time. I hope we can make it work if not I have another scanner I can use but I wanted to try this one first.

AFter I ran this in Terminal it asked for my sudo password and I guessed that it was just my regular password and now it is asking for a command, what do I put on there?

My last post... I forgot to add that It was asking for a command, was there something I should have in putted? It didn't work, by the way. Another question, what program do I use? I pulled up Simple Scan right now and it had the wrong scanner but I tried it anyway and no go.

I have a feeling this will be a long process to get this scanner working, if it is a long process. Like I said, installing it on Windows7 took long. It has 3 different programs it had to download and had to be done in a certain sequence. Can we just start over, delete what we did and get my other scanner working?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks!

If you can just show me how to remove what we did or do I have to remove it? Then I will start another thread for my other scanner. I will hit solved on this thread.

Actually my other scanner works as soon as I plug it in.
Can we remove what I added earlier or do I have to? I just hate to have something that I do not need.

Just delete the firmware file you added and re-edit the file, deleting the 3 lines you added....

I have already deleted the 3 lines and now I need to delete this - cd ~; wget http://
I'm going to give it a shot...
sudo apt-get purge (what name should I type here?)
