Of course, the SCSI card that came with the Scanner is not supported by
Linux... Ok, I bought another one, that look like an AM53C974.
Of course, the SCSI card sees all devices : (The scanner and a CDROM)
$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-4XCS Rev: 1.01
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 610S Rev: V1.3
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Of course, I created the scsi devices :
$ ls /dev/sg*
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 0 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sga
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 1 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgb
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 2 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgc
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 3 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgd
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 4 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sge
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 5 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgf
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 6 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgg
crw------- 1 root sys 21, 7 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgh
Of course, I installed the dependencies for sane 0.67 :
$ rpm -qa
...
gimp-devel-0.99.15-2
gimp-0.99.15-2
gtk-devel-0.99.9-2
gtk+-971025-1
gtk+-devel-971025-1
gtk-0.99.10-5
...
Of course, I compiled sane (0.67) 'coz I don't succeed with the rpm.
Of course, I tested umax-cli :
$ umax-cli -I -v4
Found UMAX scanner Astra 610S version V1.3 on device /dev/sga
WARNING: UMAX scanner Astra 610S version V1.3 on device /dev/sga
is currently an unrecognized device, but inquiry seems ok.
You may continue with option --continue - but do it on your own risk!
Please do 'umax -I 2>text' and send it to
Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE
Found UMAX scanner Astra 610S version V1.3 on device /dev/sgb

No UMAX scanner found
Could not open scanner
Of course, none of the above devices (sga and sgb) seems to be ok for
sane :
$ scanimage -d /dev/sga
scanimage: open of device /dev/sga failed: Invalid argument
$ scanimage -d /dev/sgb
scanimage: open of device /dev/sgb failed: Invalid argument
Of course, sane only sees PNM virtual devices :
$ scanimage -L
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
Of course, I've tried /dev/sga and /dev/sgb in /etc/sane.d/umax.conf
Of course, I've a line for umax in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf :
$ cat /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
# enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network:
#net
pnm
microtek
mustek
hp
qcam
umax
Of course, I've forced umax-cli :
$ umax-cli -I --continue

Of course, /dev/sg? give strange results for sga and sgb :
$ cat /dev/sg?
cat: /dev/sga: Permission denied
cat: /dev/sgb: Permission denied
cat: /dev/sgc: No such device or address
cat: /dev/sgd: No such device or address
cat: /dev/sge: No such device or address
cat: /dev/sgf: No such device or address
cat: /dev/sgg: No such device or address
cat: /dev/sgh: No such device or address
And Of course, life with a UMAX 610S scanner seems to be impossible...
:-(
Don't know where to go from here !
Anyone have a path to redemption ?
Nicolas.
