Sven&gt; Hi, a friend of mine and myself, were both trying to get a<br>
Sven&gt; Mustek SP II but were both shipped a new model called Mustek<br>
Sven&gt; Paragon CD II. The vendor claimed that only the name was<br>
Sven&gt; changed and all technical details remained unchanged. This is<br>
Sven&gt; NOT the fact! I thought it might be of interest for the<br>
Sven&gt; developers of SANE that my friend has just crashed its new<br>
Sven&gt; scanner by using the mustek-backend of xscanimage with it!<br>
<p>
That's bad news.<br>
<p>
Sven&gt; Don't misunderstand me: I don't want to bother anyone here for<br>
Sven&gt; this. My intention is to warn you not to use (better: not to<br>
Sven&gt; buy) this scanner unless there is a backend that knows how to<br>
Sven&gt; handle this scanner.<br>
<p>
I just sent mail to my Mustek contact. I hope this might shed some<br>
light (crossing fingers that I'll get an answer...).<br>
<p>
Sven&gt; As it is suggested to buy another card for the mustek scanner<br>
Sven&gt; like e.g. an NCR 810 we have tried to use the scanner with<br>
Sven&gt; this card. It is correctly initialized by the kernel, the<br>
Sven&gt; scanner is found, everythings should work just fine... When<br>
Sven&gt; my friend started preview from xscanimage on his scanner the<br>
Sven&gt; thing went crazy, brutally damaging the moving parts!! I don't<br>
Sven&gt; know why exactly this happened but we are afraid, that Mustek<br>
Sven&gt; changed the protocol of the scanner.<br>
<p>
Sven&gt; So far... Has anyone of you heard of similar experiences? Do<br>
Sven&gt; you know someone who uses this model with Linux? Any ideas how<br>
Sven&gt; to solve this?<br>
<p>
There was one other report: that scanner got damaged because the scan<br>
area length was wrong. What is the SCSI id string you get for your<br>
scanner? If it is MFC-08000CZ, then this might explain the problem.<br>
<p>
How did the scanner go "crazy"? Did it start scaning normally and<br>
then when it hit the end of the scan surface it got very noisy? If<br>
so, that would explain a lot.<br>
<p>
In any case, I'm sorry to hear that the mustek backend fried your<br>
scanner. I hope it's still under warranty and that you'll get a<br>
replacement quickly. Before wasting another scanner, could you send<br>
me the following info:<br>
<p>
- SCSI id string you get at boot up (something like MFC-08000CZ)<br>
- the label on the front of the scanner<br>
- the firmware version; the best way to get this is to do something<br>
like this:<br>
<p>
SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK=2 scanimage -d mustek -h &gt;/dev/null<br>
