Hello, all,
I posted a day or 2 ago, but never heard a response at all, so
am wanting to make sure my message made it.
Since it seems I may not be able to get my Lexmark to work,
perhaps I should bring up the problem I was having that caused me to go
get the Lexmark in the first place, and see if someone might see
something I missed.
I had an HP that was working fine with sane, but it suddenly
started having problems a few weeks ago. I'd go to scan, and scanimage
would respond with, "no sane devices found". When I would unplug the
thing from the computer (and sometimes the power), scanimage -L would
list it, but then I'd get a read error during device i/o. So I went out
and bought a brand new USB cable. Same problem. Reinstalling sane
didn't help either. So I figured my HP was dead. Is it dead, or is
there something else I should try? Being blind, I need *a* scanner to
read my printed material. I'll be satisfied if I can at least get one
of the scanners working. I'm not enough of a programmer to write a
driver, or I probably would have by now. What can I do to get scanning
back? As it is now, I have to hike 2 blocks away every time I want to
scan anything.
Thanks again,
Terrence
