Hi,
<BR>
<P>On Sat, Dec 09, 2000 at 12:42:52PM -0500, <A HREF="mailto:kate@kens.com?Subject=Re:%20SuSE%207.0%20and%20scanners&In-Reply-To=&lt;20001209194502.A18341@vortex.swb.de&gt;">kate@kens.com</A> wrote:

<EM>&gt; Having exhausted the few solutions I found (that were within my minimal
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; capabilities) to resolve the I/O error I am getting trying to run a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek E3 on SuSE 7.0, I am about ready to toss it out the window and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; buy something that will work.
</EM><BR>
<P>As I never got a response from you (e.g. about any messages in
<BR>
syslog): Are you really sure that the source of your problem is the
<BR>
scanner and not the SCSI controller/driver/cables? I have seen SCSI
<BR>
configurations with too long cables and no termination working with
<BR>
Windows (with only the standard rate of crashes) and breaking
<BR>
immediately under Linux. Any way to test the scanner with another SCSI
<BR>
controller? I just want to make sure that you don't buy a new scanner
<BR>
and then find out that it was a problem with the SCSI controller.
<BR>
<P>Nobody (but me) could look at the debugging output because it is still
<BR>
unreadable (No such file ...).
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Any suggestions from the floor for an affordably priced scanner, that is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; likely to *actually* work with this distro? I'm interested in hearing from
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; someone who actually has one working.
</EM><BR>
<P>All the Mustek scanners on <A HREF="http://hmg.home.pages.de/sane/scanners.html">http://hmg.home.pages.de/sane/scanners.html</A>
<BR>
work to the degree noted there. The scanners marked by a star (*) were
<BR>
tested by me. However, you need a current backend for these scanners.
<BR>
SANE 1.0.4 will be out soon, so this shouldn't be a problem.
<BR>
No guarantees, but they work for me.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Not working as in &quot;recompile sane
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; without some patch, first&quot; working, but plug it in and follow the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; directions working.
</EM><BR>
<P>SuSE 7.0 comes with the old SANE 1.0.2 drivers. If you really want to
<BR>
use them please don't use Mustek scanners, there were quite some bugs
<BR>
in 1.0.2 concerning Mustek scanners. I don't know why they don't
<BR>
update to at least 1.0.3.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Spare me the suggestion to read the documentation,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; please. I have found on three occassions now, that what is listed for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; linux under the documentation would not work, or did not work reliably.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (one modem, one video card, and now this.)
</EM><BR>
<P>Ok, in this case I won't point to the list of scanners supported by
<BR>
SANE 1.0.2 somewhere at <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/">http://www.mostang.com/sane/</A> .
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
