I'm relatively new to Linux and this is my first experience with sane.
I have no programming experience. My girlfriend's company recently gave
her an old scanner that they replaced and I would like to get it working
with my Linux machine. Aparrently, the scanner was working well with
Win98, but ocassionally flaked out requiring a Win reboot.
I posted a message earlier about this problem and haven't gotten an
answer yet ... at this point I would appreciate even a flame as long as
it helps me decide to move in 1 direction or another! :)
The scanner is a Microtek Scanmaker V300 parallel port scanner. I'm
running Linux Mandrake 2.2.9-19mdk. It was quite a struggle, but I
managed to install the ppscsi kernel patches. I can load ppscsi, sg,
and onscsi with insmod without a problem. When I run 'scanimage -d
microtek2:/dev/sga', however, I get "Error during device I/O." I looked
through the san-devel mailing list archives and found that someone else
had a similar problem, but I never saw an answer ... just advice to set
SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2=30 and publish the results. I did that.
Here are the last few lines of output, where the errors are displayed:
...

[microtek2] sane_get_devices: sd_list_freed

Does anyone have any ideas? Am I doing something completely stupid?
Does no-one have an answer for this problem? Is the scanner hardware
bad and should I just chuck it and forget about it?
As I wrote before, any answer at all would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows a way that I can search the mailing list archives
I'd be happy to do that, but I didn't see a method for doing so.
Thanks.
