Hi All,

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to solve my problem. I 
have a Plustek OpticPro600 parallel port scanner that works fine under 
Windows. I want to start using it under Linux. Here's my system specs:

Dell OptiPlex GX-110 w/ P-III 500 CPU
256MB RAM
Mandrake Linux 9.1 with many security updates.
Linux kernel version 2.4.21-0.25mdk, custom compile following SANE info.
sane-backends-1.0.11
sane-frontends-1.0.10 <?>
plustek-module-0_42_9

My entry in /etc/modules.conf:

alias char-major-40 pt_drv
post-install pt_drv modprobe -k parport
options pt_drv lampoff=180 warmup=15  port=0x278  lOffonEnd=0  mov=6 slowIO=0 
forceMode=0

Error message when attempting to load module pt_drv:

[root@myhost username]# modprobe pt_drv
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.25mdk/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: Success
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.25mdk/misc/pt_drv.o failed
modprobe: insmod pt_drv failed

Note the line above that ends in Success. It seems to work, but then reports 
an error. 

By the way, the scanner light comes on when it's plugged in and it stays on.
