Hello All,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Please forgive me if this information was already known. I spent a
|
|
<BR>
|
|
lot of time searching archives in various places looking for someone
|
|
<BR>
|
|
who had successfully got a Microtek ScanMaker E3 Plus with parallel
|
|
<BR>
|
|
port working under Linux and came up with many dead ends. Lots of folks
|
|
<BR>
|
|
had got to the point of trying the following:
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>% scanimage -d microtek2:/dev/sg0 > test
|
|
<BR>
|
|
scanimage: open of device microtek2:/dev/sg0 failed: Error during device I/O
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>If there was a solution posted, I never saw it. I'm writing this email
|
|
<BR>
|
|
as a public service for those who may still be trying and hoping but
|
|
<BR>
|
|
haven't seen anything.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P><P>Step 1: Get your scanner working/visible as a SCSI device under
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Linux.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I'm under the very strong impression that your parallel cable that
|
|
<BR>
|
|
should have come with the scanner is different than a mere mortal
|
|
<BR>
|
|
printer cable. You'll need this cable.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Then you'll need to patch your kernel using the patch-2.2.15pre14-ppscsi1
|
|
<BR>
|
|
that is referred to at <A HREF="http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport">http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport</A>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Actual patch is at:
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/patch-2.2.15pre14-ppscsi1.gz">ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/patch-2.2.15pre14-ppscsi1.gz</A>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Hopefully you're comfortable with compiling your own kernel and using
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the patch program as I don't have time/energy to write about that
|
|
<BR>
|
|
here. Note that in the end the only things you really need are the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
ppscsi module and the onscsi module. Hence once everything is
|
|
<BR>
|
|
compiled you can do:
|
|
<BR>
|
|
insmod ppscsi
|
|
<BR>
|
|
insmod onscsi
|
|
<BR>
|
|
and you should see your scanner. Also, do a cat /proc/scsi/scsi and
|
|
<BR>
|
|
you should see your scanner listed. Mine looks like:

|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>This is the part I was stuck at. It turns out that the problem was
|
|
<BR>
|
|
that my version of the microtek2 backend was not recognizing the model as
|
|
<BR>
|
|
belonging to an E3 plus. I hacked the code to recognize my model (0x90)
|
|
<BR>
|
|
as the model listed as an E3Plus (0x92.) I've been happily scanning
|
|
<BR>
|
|
since.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>The microtek2 backend I used was microtek2-pre0.9.020100.tar.gz as
|
|
<BR>
|
|
found at <A HREF="ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/">ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/</A> I don't know if this
|
|
<BR>
|
|
was necessary, but it's the one I used. Then I patched the code as
|
|
<BR>
|
|

absolutely thrilled to get the scanner working and wasn't so

interested in programming finesse.

sure if they even do anything. (I wasn't in the exploring mood - it

worked, I wanted to scan. 'nuff said. :) ) You may want to check

<P>Anyway, my scanner now works. I will remain on this mailing list for
|
|
<BR>
|

a few days longer in case anyone has any questions appropriate for the

public forum, otherwise I will unsubscribe and go on my merry way.

|
|
Sorry for the post-and-run, but I just wanted to leave a trail in case
|
|
<BR>
|
|
some other poor person wanted their E3 Plus parallel-port scanner
|
|
<BR>
|
|
working and couldn't figure it out.

<P>Btw: for those looking for more details now or later - please feel

<BR>

free to email me. If I can at all help, I'd be happy to - time
|
|
<BR>
|
|
permitting.
