Subject: Plustek 4380P: Error during device I/O

Hi *,

I have a good-ol' Plustek 4380P hooked up to my Linux-Box (Debian 3.0, Kernel 2.2.19pre17,
libsane 1.0.7). I am trying to get it going BUT: I keep getting the above error message
when trying 'scanimage -d plustek:/dev/pt_drv0 > test.ppm'. Here's what I did so far:

- Enabled EPP mode for /dev/lp0 in BIOS;
- Downloaded 'plustek-module-0_42_9' and installed 'pt_drv'. Here is /etc/modules.conf:
       ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/parscanner
       alias char-major-40 pt_drv
       pre-install pt_drv modprobe -k parport
       options pt_drv lampoff=180 warmup=15 port=0x378 lOffonEnd=1 mov=0
### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/parscanner
- When the machine boots, I see:
       ...
       pt_drv : driver version 0.42-10
       parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
       parport_probe: failed
       parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
       pt_drv0: 600P/6000P found on port 0x0378
       pt_drv0: Lamp-Timer set to 180 seconds.
       pt_drv0: WarmUp period set to 15 seconds.
       pt_drv0: Lamp switch-off on driver unload.
       ....
lsmod says:
       ....
       Module                  Size  Used by
       parport_probe           3376   0  (autoclean)

       parport                 7972   1  [parport_probe parport_pc   pt_drv]
       eepro100               16552   1
       vfat                    9304   0  (unused)
       smbfs                  26200   0  (unused)
       ntfs                   34496   0  (unused)
       nfs                    41672   1
       lockd                  43524   1  [nfs]
       sunrpc                 63396   1  [nfs lockd]
       unix                   12036  18  (autoclean)

- When doing an 'rmmod pt_drv', the lamp in the scanner goes out as set in the config
file, 'modprobe pt_drv' turns the lamp back on and loads the module as expected.
- Got 'sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz', compiled and installed it, but scanimage won't work.
(scanimage: open of device plustek:/dev/pt_drv0 failed: Error during device I/O).
- I also tried 'pt_drv' instead of 'pt_drv0'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Robert Fendt
