Don't do this. /dev/scanner is only for the SCSI-Backends. Now every SCAI-backend will try to access your scanner as a SCSI device and will fail. As far as I know the mustek_pp backend doesn't use the /dev entries at all. > I chose /dev/lp0 as this is the entry in /etc/printcap that equates to > the lp printer, and my mustek 1200cp scanner (CIS chipset with the > software patch from Eddy DeGreef) shares that port. I'm not an parport expert, but /dev/lp0 is really the printer device and not the parport. > Can someone tell me what I've done wrong, or have missed? Try (as root) SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_PA4S2=255 scanimage -L to find out why it doesn't work. Bye, Henning
