I have a Primax 4800 Direct scanner, which is a re-labelled Plustek parallel port scanner. I have Suse 8.1 which comes with sane 1.0.8 and includes Plustek support.
I've also downloaded the Plustek kernel driver from plustek-module-0_42_9.tar.gz as it is supposed to work with sane 1.08 without re-compiling sane. The driver seems to detect the scanner: pt_drv : driver version 0.42-10 parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] pt_drv0: Primax 4800 Direct found on port 0x0378 pt_drv0: Lamp-Timer set to 180 seconds. pt_drv0: WarmUp period set to 15 seconds. pt_drv0: Lamp untouched on driver unload. However: dis:~ # scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). dis:~ # scanimage -d plustek:/dev/pt_drv0 scanimage: open of device plustek:/dev/pt_drv0 failed: Error during device I/O I have uncommented the 'plustek' line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. What else must I do to get the scanner to work? Thanks, D.
