#186774 — Compatibility of the Irisscan executive 4 scanner

Dear all,

I install Debian GNU/Linux on computer for visual-impaired users and 
I've a request about the compatibility of a Irisscan executive 4 scanner.

I've sought on the internet without finding any specific data about this 
model.

Do you know if this model is compatible with Sane and if yes where I 
could find a tutorial to install it?

Best regards.

According to the Sane website [1] the IRIS products are unsupported. Maybe  
the Iriscan executive 4 has an other chipset and will work. Is it possible  
to find the USB-id or the manufacturer of the chipset?

Thank you very much for your reply and the reply of Floris.

I don't have the device at hand (it's not mine) but ASAP I'll post here 
the result of lsusb.

Best regards.

Based on a quick `git grep -i iris` on the sane-backends source code,
the only Irisscan device known to be supported is the "Express 2".  If
the "executive 4" has a USB port, could you provide the USB product ID?

Connect the device, power it up, run `lsusb` and post the output.

Maybe that will turn up extra information.  I am sceptical about
that though, but see below.

If you want to use SANE on Debian GNU/Linux, all you really need to do
is install the sane-utils package.  Next make sure that your users are
members of the scanner and you should be able to use the `scanimage`
command-line utility.

# That's assuming your scanner is supported, of course.

If you have sane-utils installed already (quite likely if you installed
a graphical desktop environment), could you also provide the output of
running `sane-find-scanner`?

# Normally I see rather little value in running this command, but seeing
# that the Irisscan Express 2 is Plustek manufactured and supported by
# the gt68xx backend, it might give a clue as to the chipset which might
# be of use determining how easy/difficult adding support would be in
# case someone is interested in doing so.
#
# That's a lot of "if"s, so don't hold your breath waiting for support
# if your scanner is not supported already ;-)

Hope this helps,

A small but important point: a user does not need to be a member
of the scanner group unless he is expected to log in from a remote
location. Permissions on the scanner device on the USB bus are
automatically taken care of by udev.

Hi Olaf,

This is what I get when I plug the device and look at dmesg:

Hi Alex,

Sorry for the belated follow-up.

The only entry we have for idVendor=0a38 has idProduct=0301 and it's in
the list of unsupported devices :-(

Hope this helps (guess it doesn't),
