Microtek doesn't seem to work out here.
Using:
Xsane 0.49
Sane 1.0.1
Microtek backend 0.10 (modified: added model code 0 x65....)
parport scanner Microtek Pagewiz
ppscsi and onscsi modules (from http://www.torque.net/parport/ppscsi.html)
In short: everything works just the same as with xscanimage, but when scanning
the image the program Xsane disappears from the screen.
I used them as standalone programs.
The thing I always get with scanning is an i/o-error, with preview and with
scanning, but I just ignore this. Also what happens is the first preview and
the first scan is nothing, after that I can scan. This happens each time I
start the programs. I hope it is clear that this happens with Xsane and
Xscanimage.
With both programs I can make a preview.
With both programs I can make the first scan, which is nothing.
with Xscanimage I can then make the real scan, which works out good.
With Xsane I can start making a real scan, but one second later Xsane
disappears from the screen.
I can start the two programs again. But they complain that there are no
devices.
This happened yesterday evening, and today I could make it happen again.
Another thing; the hardware didn't like it. It's always so that the light of
the scanner turns off after half an hour, leaving just a little green led
on the front burning. But this afternoon I found out the light was still on,
since yesterday. I wanted to boot M$ 98 (sorry), but it failed, I guess for the
scanner. Only when I pulled off the power-supply cable and put it back on
it made M$ boot. I'm almost certain that it was caused by the scanner,
because always when I leave the power-supply off the scanner, M$ hangs for a
minute when booting.
I don't know about other Microtek scanners, but this one doesn't seem to work
with Xsane.
