Ooh, a real use of the FreeBSD port of libieee1284.. cool :) > Here's the output of scanimage in debug mode: > > thurston# scanimage > [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of canon_pp to 100. > [canon_pp] >> sane_init(0xbfbfe69c, 0x80491d0): Canon Parallel SANE > Backend $Revision: 1.10 $ > [canon_pp] sane_init: >> ieee1284_find_ports > [canon_pp] sane_init: 0 << ieee1284_find_ports > [canon_pp] sane_init: 3 parallel port(s) found. Hmm.. this is the problem with the FreeBSD port.. it's always just guessing.. <etc> > [canon_pp] sane_init: ># This is the default port to be used - others > will be detected< > [canon_pp] sane_init: >ieee1284 lpt0< I haven't ported libieee1284 to use the lpt access stuff in FreeBSD sorry.. it's just raw IO at the moment. The port names will be "0x278" etc. I don't think lpt supported what I needed at the time I did it and I never really got back to it. For that reason you'll probably want to check if one of the ports it's guessing actually matches your parallel port. <etc> > [canon_pp] Timeout: Reply 2 (0x0c in 0x1f) - Status = 0x0f ... > [canon_pp] Timeout: Reply 2 (0x0c in 0x1f) - Status = 0x0f .. > [canon_pp] Timeout: Reply 2 (0x0c in 0x1f) - Status = 0x0f .. Hmm.. all three ports are just acting like there's no scanner there at all.. or maybe even no port. That makes me think that perhaps the ports it's guessing are wrong? Normally I'd expect some sort of reply. Does the lamp turn on or anything? Also, if you have a printer on the pass-thru port try unplugging it. They cause trouble for some reason.
