wine users - Mar 2007 - Usb connection with HP S20 photo scanner

Hi all,
I'm try to use the firmware software of the Photosmart S20 scanner.
The software by it self work fine , but it can't make the connection
to the scanner.
Is there a way with wine.conf or other to give to the software the
right way to find the scanner?
If you can help, please do, it make my day brighter!

Does your scanner work with SANE? I think if it works with SANE it 
should work in Wine too.

I just found this on Google:

#   I want to buy a PhotoSmart S20. Is it supported ?
It is not supported by the hp-backend. It seems that it does not use SCL 
(HP's Scanner Control Language) which is required for use with the 
hp-backend.

Looks like you might be out of luck.

Wine implements the Win32 API. It will not allow you to use windows
drivers.

When you post:
Which wine version? Self compiled or prepackaged?

If you are trying to hook up an HP Scanner to a Linux box you may be 
encountering a bug in a particular kernel that did not allow HP Scanner 
recognition. I use MandrivaLinux 2007 and you may find a discussion on 
their forum. I had a problem with my HP scanner which was eventually 
resolved through a kernel update. You may find the discussion here:

Maybe this will help you out in connecting it to your Linux box instead 
of through WINE.

You may also want to investigate a piece of software called "Vuescan" 
(http://www.hamrick.com) which I use. It is commercial, but the author 
is extremely helpful and Vuescan is an excellent piece of Linux software.

Cheers

Probably not.  Many USB devices are idiot boxes that have only the
most basic functionality to act as a USB device.  They are designed to
have their primary software (firmware) uploaded to them when
connected.  The firmware is not Windows specific but is often
contained in the Windows installer.  Sane (or is it udev?) has to be
configured to recognize the scanner model and send the firmware to
it.  On Ubuntu Edgy some are included in /usr/lib/sane.  Mandriva had
a wizard to install it.
