<EM>&gt; Hello all,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I am by no means a developer, or even a coder. I'm not exactly a Linux
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; newbie, either: I've been playing around with various distributions for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the past three years. My current distribution is Caldera Open Desktop
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 2.4, using the 2.2.14 kernel, sane-1.0.1, gimp-1.1, and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; gtk+-devel-1.2.6.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; My computer is a generic PII 233Mh, 64M RAM, dual-boot with Win95 in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; hda1 and Linux on hdb1. I replaced my parallel port scanner recently
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; when I saw on sale a UMAX Astra 1220s for $49.95. (And probably worth
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; every penny!) According to Mostang's documentation it is fully supported
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; without comment. Since I read that the UMAX scsi controller cards might
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; not be supported under Linux, I purchased an Adaptec 2906 controller
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; card. The scanner and card work well under Win95.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Nevertheless, I'm beginning to think that Scanner Access Now Easy is a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; cruel joke. Easy for whom? I know that the Linux side of the computer
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; recognizes the scanner and card, because when I open System Information
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (K-&gt; Settings-&gt; Information-&gt; SCSI) it states:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Attached Devices:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 1221s Rev: V1.3
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; But from there I don't know how to get sane up and running and talking
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to the scanner.
</EM><BR>
<P>Perhaps you could explain more what you are trying to do?
<BR>
<P>How far along have you gotten?
<BR>
<P>Is SANE installed?
<BR>
<P>The most common initial problem would be with permissions. Are you able
<BR>
to access your scanner when logged in as root?
<BR>
<P>Cheers,
<BR>
Rod
