<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; I have a Mustek 600 III EP Plus scanner connected to the parallel port.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; When I try to run &quot;scanimage -L&quot; I get a message stating that no
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; scanners were identified and that I should try &quot;find-scanner&quot; tool and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; read some documentation. The problem is that I have a parallel port
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; scanner, but that program and documentation only covers scsi-scanners.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; There are three likely causes for your problem:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; 1) You don't have access to the parallel port.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; You can easily verify if you log in as root and then try to scan.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; If that works, you should either run the saned daemon (see
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; documentation), or make scanimage setuid root (not recommended).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; It appears to me that the problem is connected to wrong access rights.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; However, it's not the parallel port, since I can both read and write to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; it, for instance with &quot;echo Hello &gt; /dev/lp0&quot;.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The string will then appear on the printer also connected to the port.
</EM><BR>
<P>The backend doesn't access the port in that way, I believe. All
<BR>
communication with the parallel is performed at the IO-port level
<BR>
(ie., IO-ports at addresses 0x380 etc).
<BR>
The permissions on /dev/lp0 therefore don't affect the backend.
<BR>
A process trying to access the IO-ports must have super-user
<BR>
access rights. The proper way to achieve this is to run the sane
<BR>
daemon as root (see man saned on how to set it up).
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Running scanimage as root will cause an error in loading libraries
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (undefined symbol: outb), which indicates that the program progresses
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; beyond the point described in my problem.
</EM><BR>
<P>No idea what is causing this. David Gesswein could be right about
<BR>
the optimization issue. Do you have an x86 platform ? I believe
<BR>
the low-level assembly routines accessing the io-ports are only
<BR>
implemented for x86 hardware.
<BR>
<P>Best regards,
<BR>
