I'm having trouble in Mandrake 9.2 with my Umax Astra 1220p. The scanner clicks on and makes normal noise when I click the "Aquire->Xsane: Device Dialog..." option in Gimp, but a dialog pops up with the error "Failed to open device `umax_pp:/dev/parport0': Error during device I/O." I did a chmod 777 on /dev/parport0, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Thanks, Chase
