plustek: Thread: can't load module for opticpro 6000 P - need help

Hi,

a few weeks ago I bought a plustek OpticPro 6000P. It works fine under windows, but it doesn't under Linux. I have an IBM Thinkpad 600 with parallel port enabled in mode ECP (whatever that means).  I can print under Linux. The operating system is SuSE 6.3 with kernel 2.2.14. I could compile the sane 1.0.2 and the latest plutek-driver. But whenever I try to 'make load' I recieve the message 'device or resource busy'.

Is there anybody who can help me?

Thanks in advance,

     Christian

Hi Christian,

can you please enable the debug messages in the driver
module (simply open the Makefile and set the value DEBUG=n to
DEBUG=y, then make the module again, call make install then make load)

After trying to load, call dmesg and send me the output of that, so I
can have a closer look to what's happening...

Maybe it helps to set the parallel port to EPP mode (although this
should be done by the driver itself !)

Let's have a look at the debug output.

Bye
