Well, I have tried just about every combination I can think of to get this thing to work and I still cannot. I hope somone has some suggestions so I don't have to go back to using the scanner on windoze.
Here is a summary: With the port in ECP (ppdev module installed in the kernel): port 0x278 pauses for a second and then reports a bad read on the port. port 0x378 same as 0x278 port 0x3c8 reports cannot connect to port /dev/parport0 reports cannot connect to port With the port in EPP (ppdev module installed); All ports report cannot connect to port. The old umax_pp driver used to work on 2.2 kernel but doesn't seem to work any more on 2.4 kernel. Help! Someone?
