Hi, I'm writing to ask what's the best way (if there is a way) to use a UMAX Astra 610P scanner with Debian Woody.
This device is listed as "don't work (yet)" at http://panda.mostang.com/sane/sane-mfgs.html#UMAX I guess I'm hoping that "don't work" might be a bit out of date and that there's _some_ way to make it work "now". I could... ...install sane the latest SANE binaries as described at http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/sane.html ...or ...get an unstable source of sane-umax_pp ...or ...anything else you might recommend. I don't mind if there are a few hoops to jump through to get this working. However, the box and the scanner aren't mine, and I have to leave them in relatively good working order for non-techincal GNU/Linux newbies, so any solution has to be relatively low-maintenance. Thanks in advance for your help, Andrew P.S. If this works, will I be able to connect a printer to the scaner's "to printer" port? P.P.S. The machine also has Win 98 installed and the scanner works OK under that "operating system"... so I suppose I might be able to make it work under Wine... though if that's the way to go I'd appreciate one or two brief pointers as to where to start... Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------- Obtén tu correo en www.correo.unam.mx UNAMonos Comunicándonos
