Hi again ! Now I am starting from beginning, perhaps that helps me. I have totaly erased my tarball sane installation and erased absolutely all files with "sane" in it. After that I have done a clean RPM sane reinstall with "system-config-packages" and my FC3 cd's, did also a upgrade with "up2date". So my "sane" installation looks like this now: sane-frontends-1.0.12-4 sane-backends-1.0.15-1.4 xsane-0.92-13 xsane-gimp-0.92-13 ---------------------------------------- I have gone thru the http://penguin-breeder.org/sane/mustek_pp/#installation once again, see below.
I have enabled the mustek_pp backend in my dll.conf I have adjusted the mustek_pp.conf file to reflect my hardware setup. I get this when I am going to verify that the driver is properly installed : [root] # SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of mustek_pp to 1. ........ here it frezzes, nothing happends.... I get this when I use sane-find-scanner to probe for my parallel port scanner: [root] # sane-find-scanner -p found possible Mustek parallel port scanner at "parport0" So my scanner is recognized by sane-find-scanner -p, but sane frezzes, perhaps my scanner is to old, so sane don't recognise the chip in the scanner ? Is there a way to check that the chip isn't to old ? When I do this, I get : [root] # SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=128 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of mustek_pp to 128. [mustek_pp] sane-mustek_pp, version 0.13-beta. build for SANE 1.0.15 [mustek_pp] backend by Jochen Eisinger <jochen.eisin...@gmx.net> [mustek_pp] sanei_init: auto probing port .......here it frezzes, nothing happends ................ When I do this, I get : [root] # SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_PA4S2=128 scanimage -L <http://medlem.spray.se/phmo/pa4s2.htm> ----snip begin----- [sanei_pa4s2] sanei_pa4s2_open: detected ASIC id 1013 ----snip end----- So obviously it seems that the chip in the scanner is recognized, isn't that right ? Why isn't my scanner working for me, I don't understand it, what am I doing wrong, is there something that I forgett or have I done everything I can possible do ? --- Is it a problem that my scanner and printer sits at the same parport ? --- Here is my var/log/messages ---snip begin--- dhcppc0 kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq -930634906 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] Mar 31 15:45:35 dhcppc0 kernel: parport0: irq -930634906 in use, resorting to polled operation Mar 31 15:45:35 dhcppc0 kernel: parport0: Printer, Canon S750 Mar 31 15:45:35 dhcppc0 kernel: lp0: using parport0 (polling).
