Hallo, since I updated from Kubuntu 6.06 to 7.10 running an "SHARP JX330 SCSI flatbed scanner" with scanimage produces this error:
$ scanimage --device-name='sharp:/dev/sg0' --source='Flatbed'>out.pnm scanimage: sane_start: Scanner cover is open Indeed the scanner cover is open, because I try to scan a book, but this used to be no problem. If I scan with xscanimage, it finally works with open cover if I scan with closed cover first. Here the output of SANE_DEBUG_XSCANIMAGE=4 xscanimage 2>debug.log [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of xscanimage to 4.

I also tried to find a hardware workaround but I don't know how the scanner knows it is open. I thought there would be a little stylus or switch that has to be pressed, but the one I found doesn't work. I have no manual or technical information about the scanner. Thanks, Lars Some sysinfo: scanimage -L device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT848A video ( *** UNKNOWN/GENE virtual device device `sharp:/dev/sg0' is a SHARP JX330 SCSI flatbed scanner uname -r 2.6.22-14-generic System: Kubuntu 7.10 with recent updates.
