I have tried all ways of installing this scanner followed all the instructions
and I can only get the light to come on once I do a modprobe parport then
modprobe pt_drv. but when I do a scanimage I get no SANE device found and get
lots of  module dep errors. It would be nice to see an istallation script to
run all the necessary stuff to get this to work under mandrake 7.1 as with the
script that another user was willing to create for me to install my pci yamaha
sound card. if you have any ideas on how to help me to get this to work. This
is the only thing from keeping me from dumping windows forever I need windows
to scan stuff but until it works under linux I must retain windows. Please if
you can create a script to automate the install process that would be greatly
appreciated.
thank you for your time

Hi Forrest,

can you send me the error messages?

Hi Forrest,

I have no Mandrake distribution, so I can't reproduce the problem.
But this all doesn't look that bad:
The driver is loaded, okay!
No we have to configure SANE:
Try and find the sane configuration directory sane.d (in /etc or /usr/etc)
check dll.conf - plustek should be enabled
check plustek.conf - one entry: /dev/pt_drv

Do you have read access to /dev/pt_drv?

Next thing you can do is:
enable sane debug facility by typing:
export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=12
scanimage -L

BTW:
I ain't that easy to write an installation script that
handles all aspects and distributions...

Hope the hints are of help
Gerhard

I am sorry for the outburst just that I have tried all ways to get the driver to work on its own. if I do a modprobe parport then modprobe pt_drv the light comes on. I tried the
export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=12 then did the scanimage -L and nothing happens. Do I have to do something extra to get debug to work so I can get messages as to what is happening with it. I am looking for some one that has successfully installed the optic pro 600P
under mandrake 7.x and could guide me in the install process. ####@####.####
