Greetings folx. I have an old HP ScanJet Plus connected to my parallel port that I cannot seem to get working with Debian 2.0 no matter what I try.
The parallel port has Base I/O address 0x378. I believe that this is /dev/lp0. Someone please confirm / correct this for me. Secondly, I'm running Debian 2.0 "out of the box" (from CheapBytes 4 CD distribution, if it matters). It's an Intel 486/dx4-100, VLB architecture, with the I/O card in an ISA slot. I've killed lpd so as to not conflict with the scanner software, 'saned'. I manually (re-)loaded the lp.o module. I've configured /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/hosts.equiv, along with every other file that I can think of that is mentioned in the saned(1) manpage (but perhaps there's something here that I overlooked or misconfigured). I created a link /dev/scanner -> /dev/lp0 when I run xcam and tell it to use either pnm:0 or pnm:1 (what are these?) it tells me "Failed to start Scanner: Invalid argument" on that device. I've tried specifying /dev/lp0 and /dev/scanner and get the same "invalid parameter" result. It almost sounds like there is a module that needs to be loaded in the kernel and is being overlooked. Can anyone offer some clues here? Thanks in advance for your help. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________ / Bedrock \__________________________ | http://bedrock.dyn.ml.org/dejay | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |_____________________________________|
