Hello, I have a question about the use of a parallel port scanner (Epson Actionscanner II). In the past I did this and worked just fin:
Remove comment for the Epson back-end here /etc/sane.d/dll.conf Modify this file to add port in the EPSON entry, in my old PC, the port was 0x378 /etc/sane.d/epson.conf # epson.conf # # here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend # # SCSI scanner: scsi EPSON # for the GT-6500: scsi "EPSON SC" # # Parallel port scanner: #pio 0x278 pio 0x378 #pio 0x3BC I bought a new PC and got rid of the old one, the new one doesn't has a parallel port so I got a PCI card with the parallel port. I use Open Suse and it recognizes the parallel port ls -l /dev/lp* crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Jan 12 14:21 /dev/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Jan 12 14:21 /dev/lp1 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 Jan 12 14:21 /dev/lp2 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 3 Jan 12 14:21 /dev/lp3 dmesg | grep parport0 [ 7.130079] parport0: PC-style at 0xd020, irq 26 [PCSPP] so the parallel port is there and 'active' at 0xd020, using that IO address in the procedure above gives no results, the scan front-end (scanlite, xsane, etc..) or by shell command returns that there are no devices found. the frontend is run under 'root'. I had this since 3 years ago, I wanted to try again, didn't find much new information, so I?m posting here in case any has a better idea or something I haven't tried. Any help is welcome. Thank you
