I've just subscribed to this list so I apologize if I'm violating
etiquette -- I browsed the list archives and haven't seen a solution to
this one (though lacking a search function I might have missed it)...
I recently purchased a Microtek ScanMaker V6USL -- this is a 14" legal
length scanner that has both SCSI and USB ports. It's recognized by my
linux system (2.2.10) on my scsi card (the modified Advansys card that
comes with the Iomega Buz) but I can't get it to scan with 1.0.1
version of sane. It appears to recognize the device, but generates an
I/O error. Here's the output from scanimage -d microtek2:/dev/scanner :

scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O
(falc@attila) /usr/src/sane-1.0.1 #
---------------8<--------------8<----------------
I'm especially puzzled (aside from the I/O error) by the lack of a
vendor name -- I haven't looked at the backend code yet, but is it
possible that this device can be made to work with command-line options?
After reading through the email archives I tried Bernd Schroeder's
patch (referenced in a thread about the ScanMaker IV) from
ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/microtek2-pre0.8.280799.tar.gz
but that seems to lock the process cold with no output. The rest of
the system (including other scsi devices) seem to work fine, but the
scanimage process appears to block or go into a loop.
Anybody have any ideas? Did I post the right debug output? Please let
me know if you need different information -- I just downloaded and
compiled the sane sources today so I'm not real familiar with all of
the debug environments and log files yet...
