Hi, I'm having difficulty getting sane going on Solaris 8 (x86) with an Epson Perfection 1200S scanner on an Adaptec scsi card. I was having odd lock-up problems when using the Schilly SCG driver (which I had been using since Solaris 2.6 days) so I switched to the built-in SGEN driver in the hope that things would get better. I'm running sane-backends-1.0.8.
Here's the symptoms: I can run scanimage with the default resolution (50) fine; but if I want more detail than that, if I put a "--resolution" option on there, half-way through the scan I get: $ scanimage --mode gray --resolution 72 >out scanimage: sane_read: Error during device I/O [500 lines of debug output that goes here is available at http://www.ingenotech.com/tmp/sane_debug.txt] At this point it is stuck in a forever loop. I have to CTRL-C scanimage twice to get out of that and the scanner is then locked-up with a red light on. scanimage --list-devices no longer acknowledges its existence. But with SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=128 it clearly IS finding the scanner. [Again http://www.ingenotech.com/tmp/sane_debug.txt contains details] If I cycle the scanner power and wait a bit it will work again at the default resolution (50), with anything higher it ends up in a spin again. Hope someone can help me with this, I really like the idea of being able to use my scanner in Solaris :-) Regards, Ed -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Ed Randall Software designer IngenoTech Ltd. http://www.ingenotech.com
