Hello,
<BR>
<P>I have an old Mustek Paragon MFS-600CX (3-pass) which worked great
<BR>
for years with SuSE Linux 5.0-6.1 and sane. Now I stupidly decided
<BR>
to upgrade (i.e. new install) to SuSE Linux 7.0 which comes with
<BR>
kernel 2.2.16 and sane 1.0.2.
<BR>
<P>Since doing so, I have the following scanner/scsi/sane? problem.
<BR>
Monochrome scanning works with scanimage and xscanimage, but
<BR>
if I try to do a color scan with xscanimage, all thee scanpasses
<BR>
seem to be performed normally, but after the last pass xscanimage
<BR>
hangs. However, if I look in the output file the scan seems to
<BR>
be okay. If I use the Gimp-plugin, the situation is even worse:
<BR>
The (monochrome) preview does not work properly eighter and
<BR>
the scanner sled stops sometimes somewhere on the scanarea.
<BR>
A few times I had also a problem described in the PROBLEMS file which
<BR>
came with sane: The scansled exceeded the physical scanarea, which
<BR>
resulted in a awful noise.
<BR>
<P>I think I can remember, that the scannersled performed a slight
<BR>
'twitch' in its park position after finishing the last scanpass.
<BR>
(I know, that this is not a scientific precise statement but I
<BR>
don't know to desribe it better). This is not performed any more
<BR>
since I installed the new Linux version.
<BR>
<P>Up to now, I used the scanner with the primitive NCR53c400 controller
<BR>
which was shipped with it. When I found some timeout warings from
<BR>
this card in the logfiles, I suspected some low-level SCSI problem
<BR>
with the new kernel and repaced the card by an Adaptec AHA-1510.
<BR>
But this changed noting on the behaviour of the scanner.
<BR>
So the problem seems to be eihter in the higher level SCSI drivers or
<BR>
somewhere in sane. If anybody ever observed this problem or
<BR>
has some hints where the problem is or how it can be located I would
<BR>
be very grateful.
<BR>
<P>I know, one solution would be to throw away the scanner and buy a
<BR>
new one, but sice it has been serving me for years and it has a
<BR>
larger scanarea compared to the new models I still like it and would
<BR>
be very happy if it would be possible to convince it to
<BR>
work again properly.
<BR>
<P>Thanks in advance for any suggestions, comments, hints ...
<BR>
Georg
