Hello Terrence, USB should be easier to use than using the parallel port. If the scanner did start scanning, you have all the modules you need. scanimage writes the scanned data to stdout. Maybe this is your gibberish. Just start scanimage with an output redirection:
scanimage > image.ppm To save the error messages in another file, do a scanimage > image.ppm 2>errors.txt You can send the errors.txt to me. Maybe I can see what is going on.
