Hello, I am attempting to make my scanner work. It is a Umax Astra 600S attached via a SCSI-Firewire interface to my MacBook, which is running Mac OS X 10.5. I'm using the latest version of the TWAIN-SANE packages, which includes sane-backends 1.0.18. I tested this configuration with a demo of SilverFast, which functioned properly.
So far, the only way to have a complete response is using the --mode LineArt option - anything else and the scanner and/or interface 'crash'. Even in this mode though, no image is produced. Using SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=255 and SANE_DEBUG_UMAX=255, I produced the attached log file. I have tried experimenting a little with the buffer options for sane_umax, but I'm not convinced that the back-end is at fault. Anyone with experience of 'Out of memory' errors or sane_umax, please respond. Any suggestions are welcome to just get basic functionality to start with.
