Description rabindranath 2011-11-25 23:14:21 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0

I am trying to connect a Canoscan FB320p parallel port scanner but F16 is not detecting it. The parallel port is working okay with my HP 710c printer. I disconnected the printer and only connected the scanner, but it is not detected. I am running kernel-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 with K-desktop, installed from KDE LiveCD. F16 installation was done from LiveCD since the parallel port printer is not detected if F16 is installed from DVD (yes, no typo error there)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Scanner connected with PC powered off
2.PC switched on so that BIOS will recognise all ports
3.Simple-scan and sane tried. Both see only my USB webcams
Actual Results:  
Both simple-scan and sane detect the 2 usb webcams, but not the parallel port scanner

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 16:10:18 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 19:34:41 UTC

Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
