<i>&gt; &gt; I found out that you have written te patches for 1236 support in the</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; scanner since I have one, and want to use it under a real OS. Now as</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; soon as I noticed that with SANE 1.0.1 there was support for the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; 1236 I tried it.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Sounds good. You should of course have tried it earlier, maybe your</i><br>
<i>&gt; problems would have been fixed for 1.0.1. :-)</i><br>
<p>
Yes I guess I shoud have :-) unfortunately I wasn't following the<br>
sane-devel mailing list, so I didn't know anybody was creating<br>
patches.... :-)<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; The driver recognizes the scanner perfectly, but all tests fail</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; (scanimage -T) and scanning is impossible.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Do not run 'scanimage -T'. It fails, and leaves the SCSI driver and</i><br>
<i>&gt; the scanner in a funny state. You have to turn the scanner off and</i><br>
<i>&gt; on, and reload the scsi driver.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; The driver does seem to send something to the scanner, since its led</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; starts flashing as soon as a preview, or a scan is attempted.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Are there any people who have actually made scans with this backend?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; If so, what am I doing wrong?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I managed to get it going, so it is possible.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; My configuration: Linux 2.2.6ac1</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Initio INI9200UW SCSI controller(dual channel)</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; (scanner is the only device on the A channel)</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; SANE 1.0.1 (final)</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; You have a newer kernel then I tested with, and a different SCSI</i><br>
<i>&gt; controler, but none of that should make the scanning fail.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Try starting with a freshly rebooted machine (or reloaded scsi driver)</i><br>
<i>&gt; and scanner, and see if the problem is still there.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; To get debug info, use 'SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=128 scanimage -L'.</i><br>
<p>
I tried it, and it does do some more things when SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=128<br>
is set (when I'm lucky, the scanner actually seems to start scanning,<br>
but stops after just a few seconds), but I still couldn't scan. When I<br>
use scanimage --preview, it simply segfaults. I am now beginning to<br>
wonder whether my SCSI bus termination is ok...it all works fine with<br>
fotolook under NT, so up till now I just assumed it was ok. The manual<br>
that came with the 1236 says nothing about termination, so if you know<br>
if the 1236 has got internal termination, let me know.<br>
<p>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; We should take this discussion on the list, <a href="mailto:sane-devel@mostang.com">sane-devel@mostang.com</a>, to</i><br>
<i>&gt; let others share their knowledge on the subject.</i><br>
<p>
Let's do that :-)<br>
