Mandrake Linux 8.0; SANE 1.04-2mdk; HP Scanjet 6200C;
Adaptec SCIS 2940; device I/O error
Hi -- I'm turning here for help -- I've read all the documentation and tried
everything that I know how to do, and cannot get past this point. I have the
above configuration and get a "device I/O error" before a scan begin every time
now. When I first installed this a few weeks ago, I could get it to scan 5-10
scans, and then the error would return. Tesing the scanner under Windows shows
the hardware is OK. I've seen similar issues on the newsgroups, but I have not
found a solution to it. According to the documentation, all my hardware and
software is supported and current.
Advice / help? Thank you! - Andy Lazarewicz
Sequence of commands as follows. Note that after logging in, the command
"scanimage -L" does not find the scanner on the first try, but finds it on all
subsequent tries.
[alaz@localhost alaz]find-scanner
# Note that find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
# to a SCSI bus. It will even find scanners that are not supported
# at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that is connected to a
# parallel, USB or other non-SCSI port.
# You may want to run this program as super-user to find all devices.
# Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access
# permissions as necessary.
find-scanner: found processor "HP C6270A 3846" at device /dev/sg0
find-scanner: found processor "HP C6270A 3846" at device /dev/sga
[alaz@localhost alaz]scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read teh documentation which came
with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
