Hi, people currently encountering problems with the hp-backend and SCSI on Linux 2.4.x-kernels could try the following:
Add an entry "option disable-scsi-request" below your scanner device in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf. Example: /dev/scanner option disable-scsi-request It may also be necessary to remove the line "scsi HP" from the file. The option will make the backend read directly from the SCSI-device without using SCSI-requests. If the problems arise from the use of SCSI-requests (see postings by Abel Deuring), this option could be used as a workaround until the kernel bug is fixed. --Peter -- Peter Kirchgessner http://www.kirchgessner.net mailto:[email protected] (alternate e-mail: [email protected])
