Dear folks,<br>
I have quite some trouble with my HP ScanJet IIcx and<br>
sane. Installation details:<br>
- sane-1.0.1<br>
- xsane-0.46<br>
- Linux SuSE 6.2 (Kernel 2.2.10)<br>
- MoBo: ASUS P2B-DS (integrated Adaptec AIC-7890 SCSI Contr.)<br>
- gtk 1.2 (if that's important...)<br>
<p>
I think to have configured everything as the doc says:<br>
<p>
scanimage -L<br>
device `hp:/dev/sgb' is a Hewlett-Packard C2500A flatbed scanner<br>
device `hp:/dev/scanner' is a Hewlett-Packard C2500A flatbed scanner<br>
<p>
(sgb and scanner are links to sg1, which is correct (imho))<br>
<p>
/etc/sane.d/hp.conf:<br>
<p>
scsi HP * * * * * *<br>
/dev/scanner<br>
/dev/sg1<br>
<p>
When I start scanimage -d hp:/dev/sgb then everything starts up fine<br>
(well, same with xscanimage or xsane). However, every attempt to scan<br>
finally results in:<br>
<p>
scanimage -d hp:/dev/sgb<br>
P4<br>
# SANE data follows<br>
2550 4199<br>
scanimage: sane_read: Error during device I/O<br>
<p>
I have tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib/sane but without <br>
any change in the above result.<br>
<p>
Running xscanimage screws up my system a bit more than scanimage:<br>
Another application which is playing some tunes locks up and can't<br>
communicate with my PCI soundcard any more. Only killing that sound<br>
application and starting it again can cure it. Furthermore the scanner <br>
is locked for some time so that neither scanimage nor xsane or<br>
whatever I use can find any scanning device. After some 3-4 minutes<br>
the scanner moves a bit and everything's reset. Well, strange...<br>
<p>
Does anyone know what I have done wrong?<br>
<p>
Thanks in advance!<br>
<p>
Cheers,<br>
Manfred<br>
