plustek: Thread: Plustek driver

Hi!

I've got exactly the same problem,
but with Linux Suse 8.0 .

http://www.mostang.com/pipermail/sane-devel/2001-December/001759.html

So, how did you solve it?
I didn't find the answer to this previous link

I've installed my scanner on Linux Suse 7.3; this was working,
but now, it doesn't work anymore!
(I removed all the old version of sane and xsane,
but when I try to reinstall it, I've this problem too.)

Hi,

according to the mail you refer to, I sent Dave the following advice:

The general advice here is to disable ECP mode in BIOS!

Hope this helps again

Hi,

The plustek linux driver for the Epson 1250 is very helpful so I can
use the scanner without firing up the microsoft box.  Whew.

I noticed one small error that could cause problems with other people
trying to install it.  In the "Plustek-USB.txt" file it tells
the user to put the vendor and product id into the /etc/modules.conf
file and lists the vendor and product id as:

   EPSON
   =====
   Vendor ID: 0x048
   
   Product ID       Device-description and status  
   0x010F           EPSON Perfection 1250/Photo - mostly working 

But the Vendor ID is actually "0x4b8", not "0x048"

The above is from the file:
    plustek-sane-0_42_9.tar.gz. 

Anyway, thanks for making this available!

Tim

Thank you for this report, I'll fix it
Gerhard

Hello,
I am not currently using linux, but I plan to install very soon.  One of my 
major concerns is my scanner, a CanoScan N656U, will not work correctly.  I 
had RedHat Linux 8.0 Installed a while a go with SANE and I downloaded the 
plustek driver.  My computer could not get any response from the scanner.  
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or, is there a website I could view, 
helping me configure the plustek driver?  Also, I am pretty new to linux but 
I know simple commands like ./Configure, I have installed a few things 
before.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave F Nelson
