Well. Ive got a plustek 4183p, and redhat6.2, all i did was follow the
hints ive got on the list.(im not good with computers), ive got the light
on the scanner to turn on. I didnt managed yet to scan something, but with
patience i think i will. Dont forget, you can have both systems in your
machine while learning how to completely go to GNU/Linux, after that drop
winargh....
remember that gnu/linux users are not only about being better, but also
about freedom and sharing.
ps: Thanks for your great help Gerhard!!!!Youve been a great friend to me
and my lack of ability!

Have you made the "make install" step before?
(Sorry if this is too obvious!)
Then call "depmod" as root to update your modules.dep
file.
Then again "make load".
well... this is what happened...
[root@localhost plustek_driver]# make
[root@localhost plustek_driver]# make install
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc /lib/modules/misc
install -c pt_drv.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc
install -c pt_drv.o /lib/modules/misc
[root@localhost plustek_driver]# /sbin/depmod

you didn't have a parport module!
Try
modprobe parport
to load the parport module
If you don't have this module, you should build it...
How to build modules, you should have a look into
your distributions manual....
After loading the parport driver, you should be able
to load the pt_drv module...
Muito obrigado.
