I thought I sent a post to this list, but haven't seen it come up. So,
forgive me if this is the second time you've seen this question:
I've successfully installed SuSE 7.0, and am trying to get the scanner to
work.
Its a Microtek E3 that worked under windows as is - so we can rule out
cord or termination problems, I am told.
SCSI card advansys revA ASC3150 on an IDE system.
The SCSI adapter is recognized no problem, sane is installed, the scanner
is recognized under 'scanimage -L' as a Mikrotec 3E. So far, so good.
Starting xscanimage offers a selection box that differs from the booklet.
(I have the personal version - no big manual included) The booklet shows a
box that includes;
pnm:0
pnm:1
Microtek:/dev/scanner
Microtek:/dev/sga
My box shows only;
Microtek:/dev/scanner
Microtek:/dev/sga
I do not know if this is relevant. I did notice that an empty "out.pnm"
file has been created in my home directory. (I've been trying to run it
as root, so permissions are not an issue). I tried scanning in jpeg
format, didn't work any better than my test.
This is the error message generated:
scanimage:sane_start: Error during device I/O
The manual also refers to the 'sgcheck' command - there is no sign of this
on my system. It does not work. But my hardward guy assures me there is no
problem with the addressing.
I did save the output of SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK to a url if anyone wants to
look at it:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am a rank novice, though -
so, keep that in mind if you have instructions. :)
