Hi. I've got a Plustek OpticPro U12 scanner (it's a little old) running under Debian "Etch".
I have installed SANE and the scanner works fine with xsane, xscanimage, kooka, quiteinsane,... but not with scanimage. When I try to do a multi-scan with scanimage like this: scanimage -p --batch-count 5 --bath-prompt (y some other options) it works fine with the firts scanned page, but after press RETURN for the second page to be scanned, scanimage says: scanimage: sane_start: Device busy and then the scanner is switched off and scanimage ends without scan anymore (the result is the same one if I don't use --batch-prompt, of course). When I say "the scanner is switched off" I mean that the only way to make any program (scanimage -L, xsane, etc., reports that there is no scanner; but in fact sane-find-scanner can detect it!) seeing it again is unplugging it from the current line (or the USB port) and pluggin it again.) In the other hand, if I do multi-scan with any frontend (xsane, quiteinsane, etc.), it works fine. Why, then, doesn't it work from the command line using scanimage? (and what command do these programs make use of to do a multi-scan?). It is strange, isn't it? Any idea? What can I do? What is wrong? Thanks in advance. ps I have tried out with another scanner (an HP) and the previous command: scanimage -p --batch-count 5 --bath-prompt (y some other options) works just like it's supposed to work (I mean, it scans five times). __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!
