This may be the wrong place to ask for help - but it's the only place I could find, so I hope to be tolerated...
I'm trying to use a Visioneer 6100 USB scanner, with the viceo backend developed by Steven Ellis (see - http://website.lineone.net/~dvnix/scanner/frame.html) I have done everything described in the instructions - applied the patches to kernel 2.4.17 and compiled it - applied the patches to the sane 1.0.5 sources, and the viceo module has been installed - and added the support files provided. My scanner works under windoze, my USB interface is working, and recognizes the scanner, the scanner kernel module is loaded, but scanimage does not detect it - in fact it just hangs and I have to kill it. I get the following in /var/log/messages - kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout kernel: scanner.c: write_scanner: NAK received. - and that's all. I have no other experience with any scanner under Linux, so I don't know what to try next. Can anyone help, please? Bob Young
