I have a umax astra 1220P parallel port scanner. Kernell info: Linux trc2.bob-n.com 2.4.16 #3 Thu Dec 13 21:14:10 CST 2001 i686 unknown
Running on rehat 7.2, kernel upgraded from www.kernel.org I've got sane 1.06, with the umax_pp patch umax1220p-2.5. When I probe the scanner I get: # /usr/local/src/sane-backends-1.0.6/tools/umax_pp -p -t 1 [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of umax_pp_low to 1. [umax_pp_low] Using /proc info [umax_pp_low] Using /dev/parport0 ... UMAX 1220P scanning program version 2.5 starting ... Probing scanner ....

Anyone have any ideas on this? One SPECIFIC question: wil this work with any db25 to db25 cable that carries all the pins or do I need some special cable (ieee 1284?)? - Bob Niederman
