  Hi,

  I am STILL fighting to get my scanner working under Linux - NEITHER the USB one (Agfa 1212u) NOR the SCSI one (MaxiScan A4 attached to an Acard SCSI controller (atp870u driver)) will work.

  Here is a list of results on trying to access the SCSI Scanner...

  >> SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 SANE_DEBUG_SCSI=255 scanimage -L >rdebug.log
  [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 255.
  [snapscan] sane_snapscan_init
  [snapscan] add_device(/dev/scanner)
  [snapscan] add_device: error opening device /dev/scanner: Invalid argument
  [snapscan] add_device(/dev/sg4)
  [snapscan] add_device: error opening device /dev/sg4: Invalid argument
  [snapscan] sane_snapscan_get_devices (0xbffff320, 0)
  [snapscan] sane_snapscan_exit

  Extract from messages:...

  ## What does the above mean?
