I wouldn't be surprised, a lot of usb stuff has been walked around in and had its tires kicked between 2.4 and 2.6. Later! See below, its fixed and working. >It is also very suspicous that after setting the debug stuff you'll > see nothing. I now note that if set from the same cli rather than "export"ed to the env, it actually does work. That surprised me, but really, after 69 years, nothing should anymore. :) >Please try again: >export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 >scanimage -L >and >xscanimage > >Probably your experiments with the epkowa stuff left some garbage on > the disk... > Its commented out in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf. Now it gets weirder, both of the above lines result in a functioning scanner! xscanimage makes me select the plustek driver as usual, and then it runs the scanner just fine. xsane, from an icon, always says the scanner is busy, and its the xsane interface I'm used to. More eye candy I guess. Hmmm, I just found, dated aug 1 2003, an /etc/sane.d directory, with a dll.conf in it. I had deleted that months ago! So /usr/src/xsane-0.90 just got its config.cache rm'd, and its in the rebuild process right now after issueing a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local. And that was it, its now working normally, so one more problem is solved. Many Thanks for pointing me in the right direction (again). Damn, I find it harder and harder to see the tree for all that forest as the years pile up. I don't recommend getting old, it gets embarrasing at times. :( Now, if I could get the latest epkowa driver to compile & work, it in older versions, doesn't have that image artifact the plustek driver shows, and which I've sent smallish clips of on a couple of occasions. -- 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.
