  I thought I sent a post to this list, but haven't seen it come up. So,
  forgive me if this is the second time you've seen this question:

  I've successfully installed SuSE 7.0, and am trying to get the scanner to
  work.

  Its a Microtek E3 that worked under windows as is - so we can rule out
  cord or termination problems, I am told.

  SCSI card advansys revA ASC3150 on an IDE system.

  The SCSI adapter is recognized no problem, sane is installed, the scanner
  is recognized under 'scanimage -L' as a Mikrotec 3E. So far, so good.

  Starting xscanimage offers a selection box that differs from the booklet.
  (I have the personal version - no big manual included) The booklet shows a
  box that includes;

  pnm:0
  pnm:1
  Microtek:/dev/scanner
  Microtek:/dev/sga

  My box shows only;

  Microtek:/dev/scanner
  Microtek:/dev/sga

  I do not know if this is relevant. I did notice that an empty "out.pnm"
  file has been created in my home directory. (I've been trying to run it
  as root, so permissions are not an issue). I tried scanning in jpeg
  format, didn't work any better than my test.

  This is the error message generated:

  scanimage:sane_start: Error during device I/O

  The manual also refers to the 'sgcheck' command - there is no sign of this
  on my system. It does not work. But my hardward guy assures me there is no
  problem with the addressing.

  I did save the output of SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK to a url if anyone wants to
  look at it:

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am a rank novice, though -
  so, keep that in mind if you have instructions. :)
