Oops, sorry Henning. The scanner is an Epson Perfection 1250u. sane-backends is 1.0.11 IIRC. Present kernel is 2.6.0-test9-mm2. xsane, when launched, appears to be ok. But click on get preview, or just click on the go button, and the return is that its busy, coming back instantly. dmesg seems to indicate its found and linked in the normal manner. But click on get preview gets a message box telling me it failed to start the scanner, and does it in just a few hundred milliseconds. >You can enebale debug messages by setting the environment variable >SANE_DEBUG_BACKENDNAME=255 (BACKENDNAME is the name of the backend > you use). I'm not sure which backend is showing, but let me run it... Plustek seems to be the choice after it wades past a bunch of bttv stuffs and the test backends. Setting the env var doesn't seem to effect things either... > >Bye, > Henning > >_______________________________________________ >sane-devel mailing list >sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org >http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
