Compatible scanner but no serial tty

[mz-s]

Hi,

I am running CentOS 8.2 and python 3.6 with bc125csv. My scanner has firmware 1.04.02. When I run: $ bc125csv export > export.csv I receive the following message:

Found a compatible scanner, but no serial tty.
Please run the following commands with root privileges:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1965 product=0x0017

pyudev and pyserial are installed, and running bc125csv with the -v switch provided no useful information. I have tried several USB ports on my machine as well as several cables. Running modprobe returns nothing. Please let me know if there's anything else I should try.

Thanks!

mz-s, I got stuck with exactly the same issue until I realized I'd misinterpreted the message. Running the following worked for me:

$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1965 product=0x0017

Hi ctom009, thanks for the information. I'll have to give this a try before long and report back. Although I'm now no longer running CentOS, I migrated to Fedora - so that may have something to do with it as well (CentOS runs older packages).
