Life with a UMAX 610S Scanner on Linux :<br>
<p>
Of course, the SCSI card that came with the Scanner is not supported by<br>
Linux... Ok, I bought another one, that look like an AM53C974.<br>
<p>
Of course, the SCSI card sees all devices  : (The scanner and a CDROM)<br>
<p>
$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi<br>
Attached devices: <br>
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00<br>
  Vendor: PLEXTOR  Model: CD-ROM PX-4XCS   Rev: 1.01<br>
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02<br>
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00<br>
  Vendor: UMAX     Model: Astra 610S       Rev: V1.3<br>
  Type:   Scanner                          ANSI SCSI revision: 02<br>
<p>
Of course, I created the scsi devices :<br>
$ ls /dev/sg*<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   0 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sga<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   1 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgb<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   2 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgc<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   3 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgd<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   4 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sge<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   5 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgf<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   6 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgg<br>
crw-------   1 root     sys       21,   7 Nov 26 19:50 /dev/sgh<br>
<p>
Of course, I installed the dependencies for sane 0.67 :<br>
$ rpm -qa<br>
...<br>
gimp-devel-0.99.15-2<br>
gimp-0.99.15-2<br>
gtk-devel-0.99.9-2<br>
gtk+-971025-1<br>
gtk+-devel-971025-1<br>
gtk-0.99.10-5<br>
...<br>
<p>
<p>
Of course, I compiled sane (0.67) 'coz I don't succeed with the rpm.<br>
<p>
Of course, I tested umax-cli :<br>
<p>
$ umax-cli -I -v4<br>
Found UMAX scanner Astra 610S version V1.3 on device /dev/sga<br>
WARNING: UMAX scanner Astra 610S  version V1.3 on device /dev/sga<br>
is currently an unrecognized device, but inquiry seems ok.<br>
You may continue with option --continue - but do it on your own risk!<br>
Please do 'umax -I 2&gt;text' and send it to<br>
<a href="mailto:Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE">Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE</a><br>
Found UMAX scanner Astra 610S version V1.3 on device /dev/sgb<br>
WARNING: UMAX scanner Astra 610S  version V1.3 on device /dev/sgb<br>
is currently an unrecognized device, but inquiry seems ok.<br>

<a href="mailto:Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE">Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE</a><br>
No UMAX scanner found<br>
Could not open scanner<br>
<p>
Of course, none of the above devices (sga and sgb) seems to be ok for<br>
sane :<br>
<p>
$ scanimage -d /dev/sga<br>
scanimage: open of device /dev/sga failed: Invalid argument<br>
$ scanimage -d /dev/sgb<br>
scanimage: open of device /dev/sgb failed: Invalid argument<br>
<p>
Of course, sane only sees PNM virtual devices :<br>
<p>
$ scanimage -L<br>
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device<br>
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device<br>
<p>
Of course, I've tried /dev/sga and /dev/sgb in /etc/sane.d/umax.conf<br>
<p>
Of course, I've a line for umax in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf :<br>
<p>
$ cat /etc/sane.d/dll.conf<br>
# enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network:<br>
#net<br>
pnm<br>
microtek<br>
mustek<br>
hp<br>
qcam<br>
umax<br>
<p>
Of course, I've forced umax-cli :<br>
<p>
$ umax-cli -I --continue<br>
<p>

cat: /dev/sgg: No such device or address<br>
cat: /dev/sgh: No such device or address<br>
<p>
And Of course, life with a UMAX 610S scanner seems to be impossible...<br>
:-(<br>
<p>
Don't know where to go from here !<br>
<p>
Anyone have a path to redemption ?<br>
<p>
          Nicolas.<br>
