Hello everyone, I have a plustek 9636P parallel scanner, and running RH 7.2. I have removed all sane from my system and downloaded the sane-backends 1.0.6, sane frontends 1.0.6 and the newest xsane. I have also downloaded the plustek-module.
I have installed sane over a darn million times and I can't seem to get my scanner working. here's what I did as per the instructions. I installed sane-backends 1.0.6 then I moved the plustek-module to the backend/plustek_driver and unpackaged it and did "make all" the as root "make install" ok at this point everything should be set to go, the instructions say to "make load", I do this and nothing happens, no light comes on, but when I do insmod pt_drv the light comes on. fine, I figure either way should work. now I install the sane-frontends 1.0.6 and the latest xsane. now scanner seems to be working, except xsane does not find it! so I resort to "sane-find-scanner" and still nothing. so I try scanimage -L and still nothing. can I please get some help here, I have installed and uninstalled and manually removed sane from all dirrectories and installed even more on both SuSE 7.1 and RH 7.2 with SuSE running the newest 2.4.16 kernel and RH running the 2.4.7-10 kernel. overall problem, I can get the scanner light on, but nothing else. Note: If problem is distro specific, I prefer suggestions for the RH machine. Thanks David M.
