Hello everyone,
I have a plustek 9636P parallel scanner, and running RH 7.2. I have removed
all sane from my system and downloaded the sane-backends 1.0.6, sane
frontends 1.0.6 and the newest xsane. I have also downloaded the
plustek-module.
I have installed sane over a darn million times and I can't seem to get my
scanner working.
here's what I did as per the instructions.
I installed sane-backends 1.0.6 then I moved the plustek-module to the
backend/plustek_driver and unpackaged it and did "make all" then as root
"make install"
ok at this point everything should be set to go, the instructions say to
"make load", and the light comes on.
now I install the sane-frontends 1.0.6 and the latest xsane.
now scanner seems to be working, except xsane does not find it!
so I resort to "sane-find-scanner" and still nothing. so I try scanimage -L
and still nothing.
can I please get some help here, I have installed and uninstalled and
manually removed sane from all dirrectories and installed even more on both
SuSE 7.1 and RH 7.2 with SuSE running the newest 2.4.16 kernel and RH running
the 2.4.7-10 kernel.
overall problem, I can get the scanner light on, but nothing else.
Note: If problem is distro specific, I prefer suggestions for the RH machine.
I have remove all sane from my system again and will install it again if I
can get some help.
if anyone would like to contact me thru aim my screen name is below
Thanks
David M.
