<i>&gt; Hi, I just unpacked and built SANE 1.00 to use with my laptop running Linux</i><br>
<i>&gt; (RedHat 5.2). I have a PCMCIA SCSI card which is working just fine.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; However:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; when I connect the UMAX Astra 1200S, scanimage --lsit-devices does not</i><br>
<i>&gt; recognise it. Here's my SCSI info:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;ventus  cat /proc/scsi/scsi</i><br>
<i>&gt; Attached devices:</i><br>
<i>&gt; Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00</i><br>
<i>&gt;   Vendor: UMAX     Model: Astra 1200S      Rev: V2.9</i><br>
<i>&gt;   Type:   Scanner                          ANSI SCSI revision: 02</i><br>
<i>&gt; Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00</i><br>
<i>&gt;   Vendor: IOMEGA   Model: ZIP 100          Rev: J.02</i><br>
<i>&gt;   Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; But scanimage doesn't find anything:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;ventus  scanimage --list-devices</i><br>
<i>&gt; device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device</i><br>
<i>&gt; device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; (Same result running as root, so it's not a permissions issue.) I'm using</i><br>
<i>&gt; the default sane-umax.conf:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;ventus  cat /usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf</i><br>
<i>&gt; scsi UMAX * Scanner</i><br>
<i>&gt; scsi LinoHell Office</i><br>
<i>&gt; /dev/scanner</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; What am I doing wrong? (Sad to report, I can use the scanner under Win95 on</i><br>
<i>&gt; this laptop.)</i><br>
<p>
Hmm, I have a similar configuration (RedHat 5.2, UMAX 1200S) and<br>
I'm having no trouble. I assume the compilation and build went<br>
OK?<br>
<p>
If so, check these other items:<br>
<p>
add saned /etc/group (vi)<br>
add saned /etc/passwd (vipw)<br>
add sane  /etc/inetd.conf<br>
chown 666 /dev/sgc<br>
add localhost /usr/local/etc/sane.d/saned.conf<br>
<p>
and try again. Good luck. You can email me directly if<br>
it still doesn't come up.<br>
