plustek: Thread: pt_drv doesn't recognize scanner

Hi,

I have an Optic Pro 4830P Scanner. Thanks to the help I got from you 
everything worked fine. But since about 2 weeks ago the driver stopped 
recognizing the scanner and I don't know why.
Any Ideas?

Greetings from Germany/Lieblos

Hi,

does the scanner work with Windoze? What about the logs, can you send
me the output of dmesg (after enabling the DEBUG stuff in the driver)?
I think there are only two possibilities:
- defetive hardware
- some changes in your system that touch the parport communication

Hi,

Here is the information you requested:
The scanner works under windows.
And here is the output of dmesg:

And here's the problem! The parport is somewhat set to ECP(EPP)
mode in the BIOS!
Make sure not to have any ECP mentioned in the parport-modi
line!

Gerhard

Hi,

I have checked the bios and the parport mode IS set to EPP
Any ideas?

You might try and set the parport to SPP, then use the forceMode=2
switch to force the usage of EPP. You might also try forceMode=0...

Gerhard

So, I have tried forcemode=0 and 2 with no effect. But I recognized that under 
Windows the scanner has also stopped scanning now. He only scanns blank
pages. Any ideas? Or do i finaly have an hardware error?
