Kodak has a scanner driver as a deb file, which i installed using `dpkg -i kodak-verite-network-scan`. I cannot figure out how to use it.
When i installed the printer driver for the printer i used cups.
Cups gave me an error message that t KODAK-VERITEpdftocontone was missing from /usr/lib/cups/filter/
So i cp the deb file to a different directory.
open it with `ar x` and `cp KODAK-VERITEpdftocontone /usr/lib/cups/filter/` and the printer works fine.
Looks like the kodak driver puts things in the wrong place. Maybe it uses Ubuntu as it guide for deb files?
I cannot figure out how to fix the scanner driver. I don't have anything telling me something is missing. I have tried the following:
if i use the find i get:
Code: Select all

If i cat it I get: `kodakscan: No such file or directory`
I tried running it:
Code: Select all
root@m:/usr# ./kodakscan
-su: ./kodakscan: No such file or directory
I decided to look inside the deb file using `ar x kodak-verite-network-scan` To see if i could figure out how to run the file. I also tried SANE as well as VueScan. Both did not recognize the scanner.
When i did a ls -l:
Code: Select all
root@m:/usr# ls -l

I think the Kodak script installed a file in the wrong place, like it did with the printer file. If anyone knows how to get the software to work , it would help me. Otherwise i have to buy a different scanner.
