Alright, this is how my trouble goes. I got my Mustek 600 III EP scanner working through scanimage. It is only working now though if I use root to run the program. If I use any other user I get:
bash-2.04$ scanimage -d mustek_pp > bah.pnm scanimage: open of device mustek_pp failed: Invalid argument Alright, so, why would this work under root and not other users... the error message doesn't seem to corrospond to the problem. As well, my main concern is xsane when run with xsane -d mustek_pp i get the same error when it searches for scanner. If i run it as root it freezes. Ah, and also there are multi-colored lines through my images i do manage to scan with the command prompt scanimage. Any help would be greatly appricated. Thanks, Mike.
