Dear Readers,

I have been trying to use a Microtek Scanmaker 35 plus under Linux with
the Sane software package. My Microtek Scanmaker II works without any
problems whatsoever, when I use scanimage or xscanimage with Gimp. But I
have not been able to get the Scanmaker 35 plus to work. I use Debian 2.1.
I have an AVA 1502 SCSI card.

When I boot up I get the following kernel messages:
******************************************************************************

This means that the scanner is obvioulsy being detected.

find-scanner gives the following result:

****************************************************************************

I do apologize if I I have taken too much of your time. Both scanimage and
xscanimage report that there is no Sane devive. Does somebody have any
suggestion how I might get Sane to work for the Microtek Scanmaker plus.
Or has is somebody using this scanner successfully. By the way the scanner
works without any problems under Windows95, so the scanner has no defects.

I would be grateful for any help.
