Folks, Succeeded in installing SANE and xsane on an old PowerPC Mac G5 :-) It even talks to my Fujitsu fi-4750c for scanning with xsane using the SCSI card in my G5. Was able to scan from the flatbed and using the ADF from page fronts (at least for a single test page).
So far, so,good. But when I try ADF from page backs or duplex, it starts to move the paper, but fails with an I/O error talking to the device. Can't seem to recover from the error, except by killing and restarting xsane. Probably am making some "pilot errors" using xsane, and should RTFM, but I need to figure out how to ITFM (Install the Fine Manual :-) first. Anybody else see this problem? If so, any suggestions? If not, any suggestions on where I should look in the code to start debugging this? TIA, Mike Palo Alto, California PS: Can document the problem with more details if it's useful. PPS: The scanner hardware appears to be working fine. At least it did from a Win XP machine, using Adobe Acrobat as the scanning app, with standard Fujitsu drivers. Duplex multi-page scanning worked fine, although slowly because of the wimpy PC I was using. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
