[epson] out of memory (line 4860)
This is the code which results in the error (in sane_start):
if (lcount == 0)
{
DBG (1, out of memory (line %d)\n, __LINE__);
return SANE_STATUS_NO_MEM;
}
As far as I can see, lcount is set here:
lcount = sanei_scsi_max_request_size / s-params.bytes_per_line;
So lcount would be 0 if sanei_scsi_max_request_size were smaller than
(in this case) 41712. Maybe there is a problem with this kernel buffer
size?
I ran into this as well when looking into a bug with iscan. The
default value for sanei_scsi_max_request_size is 32768 so that
scanning at highish resolutions will easily overflow this (~10900
pixels on a single scanline for 8bit RGB). What strikes me as odd
is the fact that this code is also used for _USB_ scanners!
I can understand the lcount stuff, but I don't understand why it
would use a SCSI related maximum for _all_ scanner types? Karl,
care to shed any light on this?

Hi, Are you sure you have swap memory enabled ? These problems often occur on systems without swap enabled. Check with free : if the Swap: line reports zero you have a problem ;-) dut8b:~ 252 % free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem:904628 747696 156932 0 83808 424348 -/+ buffers/cache: 239540 665088 Swap: 1036184 321041004080 Fix : - Check with fdisk -l /dev/hda (or hdb ...) if you already have a swapspace (let's say it is hda4 for now). - Then check with swapon /dev/hda4 if you can enable it. - If you get a message like invalid swap signature try to use mkswap /dev/hda4 on that partition and retry. - If free reports swap then check if it is already set in the /etc/fstab : /dev/hda4 noneswap defaults 0 0 Success, Kees On Saturday 22 October 2005 14:55, Roger Price wrote: Dear List, For a year my Epson Perfection 4870 Photo ran well with sane 1.0.14 and xsane 0.94 on SuSE Linux 8.1.

whatever upgraded application or OS layer eats more memory the solution is obvious ... buy more RAM, or increase your swap file size. possibly 2 or 4G on its own partition.

The error message comes from the scanner, and not Sane or XSane (or any other application). Try to make your scan area slightly smaller and see if this allows you to perform the scan.
