Hi, I'm running Slackware 11.0 and I am not able to use XSane.
The problem is: $ xsane lp: Operation not permitted parport_pc: Operation not permitted Segmentation fault I've tried to solve this issue and I think I am close. But now I need help from you. $ scanimage --version scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18; backend version 1.0.18 Only as root, I can: # scanimage -L device `epson:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Epson CC-570L flatbed scanner The ids are ok: # cat /etc/sane.d/epson.conf | grep -v '^#' usb 0x4b8 0x802 usb /dev/usb/scanner0 If I type: $ scanimage -d epson:/dev/usb/scanner0 P4 # SANE data follows 632 877 everything is okay. I can scan papers from command line like, for example: $ scanimage -d epson:/dev/usb/scanner0 --resolution 300 > image.tiff But if I omit the -d option: $ scanimage --resolution 300 > image.tiff lp: Operation not permitted parport_pc: Operation not permitted Segmentation fault The error I get seems the same as the one above mentioned when I try xsane. So, logic tells me that I should pass some parameter to xsane in order for this to work. How can I do it? Or, what else should I do to solve this issue? Luis
