Hi! Afer having updated my Debian "testing" distribution a few weeks ago my Plustek OpticPro 9636T suddenly stopped working.
So far everything had worked fine but although I tried various combinations of diffenrent backend versions, module parameters and even a self-compiled sane I did only get scans with strange colors (which is better than nothing but not really helpful) and a lot of debugging information. The last kernel module that worked for me was from the file plustek-module-0_41_5.tar.gz but identified as pt_drv : driver version 0.41-6 I still have a Debian testing system (on a hard disk that I'm not using anymore) where the scanner works. But I don't want to continue using that system without updates, because Debian's testing systems change over time, which makes it impossible to install new packages (because of dependencies). Unfortunatley the updates I already made (now on a different hard disk) rendered the scanner unusable... I compiled with DEBUG=y and now I'll quote some output from syslog, but not everything, as it is quite long: Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: ********************************************* Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: pt_drv: init_module() Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: pt_drv : driver version 0.41-6 Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: ProcFsInitialize() Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: ptdrvInit(0) Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Init settings done Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: ScanData = 0xcdd68000 Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Using fast I/O Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Requested port at 0x378 Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Requested port (0x378) found Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Port mode reported: (0x005f) Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Port for device 0 registered Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: ptdrvOpen(port=0x378) Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Try to claim the parport Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: parport-modi: SPP PS/2 EPP ECP EPP(ECP) PS/2(ECP) Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Using EPP-mode Jun 24 09:04:26 koala kernel: Trying faster mode...

Jun 3 23:16:10 koala kernel: *** DETECTION DONE, result: -9020 *** Now there already was a difference in the automatic parport mode selection. Detection does work when I tell the module to use the SPP mode (forceMode=1) - but then sane produces some pretty ugly colors. Hopefully someone can tell me how to fix this. I would really hate having done all this in vain and not being able to use the scanner without rebooting any more. Cheers, Vlado
