Hello all,
<BR>
<P>I am by no means a developer, or even a coder. I'm not exactly a Linux
<BR>
newbie, either: I've been playing around with various distributions for
<BR>
the past three years. My current distribution is Caldera Open Desktop
<BR>
2.4, using the 2.2.14 kernel, sane-1.0.1, gimp-1.1, and
<BR>
gtk+-devel-1.2.6.
<BR>
<P>My computer is a generic PII 233Mh, 64M RAM, dual-boot with Win95 in
<BR>
hda1 and Linux on hdb1. I replaced my parallel port scanner recently
<BR>
when I saw on sale a UMAX Astra 1220s for $49.95. (And probably worth
<BR>
every penny!) According to Mostang's documentation it is fully supported
<BR>
without comment. Since I read that the UMAX scsi controller cards might
<BR>
not be supported under Linux, I purchased an Adaptec 2906 controller
<BR>
card. The scanner and card work well under Win95.
<BR>
<P>Nevertheless, I'm beginning to think that Scanner Access Now Easy is a
<BR>
cruel joke. Easy for whom? I know that the Linux side of the computer
<BR>
recognizes the scanner and card, because when I open System Information
<BR>
(K-&gt; Settings-&gt; Information-&gt; SCSI) it states:
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Attached Devices:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 1221s Rev: V1.3
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
<BR>
<P>But from there I don't know how to get sane up and running and talking
<BR>
to the scanner.
<BR>
<P>I contacted the local LUG, but their suggestions were of little help, so
<BR>
I decided to throw myself on your mercies, trusting that you know enough
<BR>
about sane to help me, who knows almost nothing.
<BR>
<P>Bob Eaton
