-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For starters please forgive me for asking dumb questions. I am trying to learn, and this is a huge learning curve for me to tackle.
I have a Microtek ScanMaker 3700 (sane backend sm3600) that worked fantastically on Mandrake 8.1, 8.1, and 8.2 using sane 1.0.6 and 1.0.7. I upgraded (questionable if that was an upgrade) to Mandrake 9.0 and the scanner stopped being recognized. I checked into the rpm file and found the sm3600 backend was missing. I then attempted to install the rpm from 8.2 with sane 1.0.7 with no luck. I then uninstalled all that junk and tried to install sane 1.0.9 from source and had screaming fits. Following Henning Meier Gennitz' suggestion (sorry if I misspelled) I ran make distclean after uninstalling the 1.0.9. On my own initiative I ran rpm - --rebuilddb to clean up all the old rpm stuff. And then I rebuilt 1.0.9 with some success. I can access the scanner as root. I then read the man sane-sm3600 manpage, and the hotplugging howto on the sm3600 backend site. My logs show what the authors seem to think I should see, but I still have no user level access to the scanner. scanimage -L flat out won't see the scanner and xsane dies just as it begins to try to detect the scanner. This has got to be a permissions issue somewhere I have overlooked. Can somebody tell me what files need to be given user level access to so I can get this thing running? Thanks... Much more of this and I am buying an Epson! - -- David B.
