Combing through the Ellert.se installer a bit more, I can see these install time checks:
function InstallationCheck() {
if((system.compareVersions(system.version.ProductVersion, '10.11') < 0) ||
(system.compareVersions(system.version.ProductVersion, '10.12') >= 0)) {
my.result.title = system.localizedString('WrongVersionTitle');
my.result.message = system.localizedString('WrongVersionMessage');
my.result.type = 'Fatal';
return false;
}
if(!system.files.fileExistsAtPath('/usr/local/lib/libusb.dylib')) {
my.result.title = system.localizedString('NoLibusbTitle');
my.result.message = system.localizedString('NoLibusbMessage');
my.result.type = 'Fatal';
return false;
}
if(!system.files.fileExistsAtPath('/usr/local/lib/libsane.dylib')) {
my.result.title = system.localizedString('NoSANETitle');
my.result.message = system.localizedString('NoSANEMessage');
my.result.type = 'Fatal';
return false;
}
return true;
}
Thus I'd recommend using homebrew to install the SANE backend:
brew install sane-backend
Now I see scanner drivers in System Preferences->SANE
See them, yes – but can you actually configure them? I couldn't, and I had installed the SANE backends using Homebrew as you described. Does the pref pane actually work for you?
So for my purposes I was trying to setup an old Canon LiDE scanner for a non-technical user.
After installing sane-backend
the command scanimage
started working. So I didn't try to configure.
In the end, my user preferred a GUI so we went with VueScan.
VueScan is working for me too. Thanks, Pat!
Happy to hear that. Happy scanning!
@tambovchanin, you may have misunderstood what's going on here. The pref pane and interface still don't work – I've just given up on them. But as far as I know the issue still exists, so the thread should not be closed.
Thanks, @tambovchanin !
For me, prefpane and scanimage is working, but vuescan and image capture doesnt find anything.
Do you have solution to this?
Got the same issue than @adrianmihalko with "Image Capture.app" on Sierra 10.12.6. No Devices showed, but scanimage working only once, after that i had to un-plug and re-plug the scanner.
Both files install fine on my Mac – thanks for updating the installers! – but unfortunately they don't actually work.
The preference pane seems to be able to see all the configuration files, but it won't let me actually configure them – the boxes for "Configure" and "Firmware" aren't clickable.
I haven't tried to use the interface, but in the Finder I see that its icon is overlaid with the slashed-circle symbol that indicates a nonfunctional application.
I see that the version numbers of both files match the El Capitan versions at http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/. Could it be that these are simply not the right versions for Sierra?
