Marcel, I've also been getting IO errors with my Microtek scanner. My
model is the ScanMaker V6usl. I haven't tried the setting on my scsi
card, because it works fine from the NT partition of my hard drive.
Here's the message I sent to this list last week, but I haven't gotten
any response to it:
This is on Red Hat 6.1, with SANE installed, I think. I start
xscanimage, and the xscanimage application opens. xscanimage also
prints info to the terminal window, and there it says it recognizes the
make & model of the scanner (Mikrotek ScanMaker V6USL). I haven't made
any changes to any SANE or xscanimage configuration files. When I try
and actually "Acquire Preview" or "Scan," it says there is an error,
that it "Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O." The info in
the terminal window says:
" 0: f00005ffffffe91f 0000000024000000 ........ ....$...
16: 2a00030000610060 0000000001000200 *....a.` ........
32: 030004000500 ......
"
The scanner & SCSI card work on the NT partition of this disk, so I
assume the card is okay. Do I need to make a change in one of the SANE
files or the xscanimage files? I've poked around a bit in some of them,
but I haven't seen anything obvious.
