Please help me with loading Umax Astra Slim 600 scanner on Ubuntu. I am unable to find a driver for Ubuntu and Linux.
Amit
You do not need a driver most of the times since Linux works with generic drivers.
There is a package you might need though: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man5/sane-umax.5.html
sudo apt-get install libsane-common
From the manual:
NAME
sane-umax - SANE backend for UMAX scanners
ABOUT THIS FILE
This file only is a short descripton of the umax-backend for sane! For detailled information take a look at sane-umax-doc.html (it is included in the sane source directory and in the xsane online help)!
DESCRIPTION
The sane-umax library implements a SANE backend that provides acces to several UMAX-SCSI-scanners and some Linotye Hell SCSI-scanners, parallel- and USB-scanners are not (and propably will never be) supported! I suggest you hold one hand on the power-button of the scanner while you try the first scans!
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf
and sane picks this up)
