    Hi,

    I am STILL fighting to get my scanner working under Linux - NEITHER the USB one (Agfa 1212u) NOR the SCSI one (MaxiScan A4 attached to an Acard SCSI controller (atp870u driver)) will work.

    Here is a list of results on trying to access the SCSI Scanner...

    >> SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 SANE_DEBUG_SCSI=255 scanimage -L >rdebug.log
     [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 255.
     [snapscan] sane_snapscan_init
     [snapscan] add_device(/dev/scanner)
     [snapscan] add_device: error opening device /dev/scanner: Invalid argument
     [snapscan] add_device(/dev/sg4)
     [snapscan] add_device: error opening device /dev/sg4: Invalid argument
     [snapscan] sane_snapscan_get_devices (0xbffff320, 0)
     [snapscan] sane_snapscan_exit

    Extract from messages:...

    ## What does the above mean?
