plustek: Thread: Plustek driver

I have a similar situation with loading the printer driver. Here is the
error message I get after typing the command "make -f MakeKernel load":


make[1]: Entering directory `/public/sane-1.0.1/backend/plustek_driver'
/sbin/modprobe pt_drv || exit 1

I followed the installation steps verbatim, but it doesn't seem to want
to load the pt_drv module. But then I run the "plustek_scan" program and
it makes the scanner light turn on and locks up when it says it is
scanning. Here is my setup:

AMD K6III-450
IWILL 100+ Motherboard
Quantum Bigfoot 8.4GB HD, IDE
2 ATAPI CD-ROMS, 24x
no SCSI devices, although using SCSI emulation to get the CD-ROMS to
work
HP Deskjet 712C printer, connected to 4830P Plustek Scanner

Thanks

Hi Anthony,

first of all, forget the plustek_scan program, it currently does
nothing, I first used it for debugging, then I decided to
rewrite the whole driver. In Version 0.36, there's no plustek_scan...

The unresolved symbol problem is quite strange because this could
only be caused by the compiler. If you have a look at the source-code
you'll never find these functions. Maybe you should turn off
the -O2 or -O flag in the MakeKernel file (search for DEBFLAGS). 

Maybe this helps.
Gerhard

I also tried the driver using Kernel 2.2.14 (but a SuSE) and
encountered
no problems. Next week I can check for these symbols.

Are you sure that the parport and parport_pc modules are loaded
(lsmod should list them)? If not, try "modprobe parport" and
"modprobe parport_pc" and then try insmod pt_drv (modprobe pt_drv
is probably better).

Hi Anthony,

while browsing through the Deja.com usenet forums
( http://www.deja.com/usenet/ ) I found, that quite a lot
of people have similar problem after building modules
or even the kernel on RedHat 6.2.

Simply search for best_memcpy and you will get about
50 hits. Here are some answer on the question what to do
when the unresolved message occurs.

Answer 1:
>Here is how I compile a new Kernel:
>
> make xconfig
> make dep
> make bzImage
> make modules
> make modules_install
> edit lilo.conf with you favorite editor
> make install
>
>The last 'make install' does all the copying of needed files, and it even
>runs 'lilo' for you. 

Answer 2:
> I was having problems building a 3rd Party driver under RedHat Linux 6.2.
> The driver includes "linux/string.h". The process always yielded
> unresolved symbol errors (best_memset, best_memmove, etc.).

It seems to me, that a proper build/install cycle will help. Maybe you'll
find another way.
Hope this helps

Dear sirs, I have a Plustek Opticpro 9636P scanner and I have used the 
Plustek driver and sane in order to work with. The problem is that 
sometimes the when i type scanimage -L, another scanner is identified, as 
600 6000P or even others... I am using mov=4, because was suggested for  
Opticpro 9636P, but when the end of the scanner is reached, a strong 
noise occurs. There is a way of setup manually the type of scanner we are 
working?
				Best regards,

Hi Sandro,

can you please enable the debug messages (uncomment the line #Debug=y
in the Makefile), recompile and reload.
Please send us the output of dmesg for the case the P9636 has been
detected and for the case a wrong model has been detected.

There's currently no way of setting a specific model!

Hi !

I´m a Linux newbie an have following problem :

I do all so as in the German Installation txt but when I´m type make
install then the System replies that I´m have the wrong Kernel - like
2.4.0 is the right kernel - i´m have 2.4.0.4GB .

So the loading fails. :-(

I´m working with Suse 7.1 Professional Version.

You writing in the Faq that my Kernel path is wrong.
How can I correct that ?

If it´s possible ,can you reply me in German - you see me English is bad
.

Thankx !

Hi,

the FAQ is correct, except for the SuSE 7.1 distribution.
They have a problem with their header files:

To work around this problem, you have to patch the file:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h 
Simply change the line
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.0"
to
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.0-4GB" 

After changing this, rebuild the driver
This should help. 

Gerhard

i'm using linux mandrake 8.0 and sane 1.0.4+ . i have made my LG Electronics work with pxscan(plustek) . i can control scaner with limitations(i must be careful with commands because it says that it can't recognize scaner model) and i can scane but i cant get no picture . i get tiff image with white block on black background . block is in dimensions i scaned .
please if anyone knows what is the problem  i would be grateful if he sends me a mail with his opinion . 
            THX
                    mladen  

Hi Mladen,

AFAIK the pxscan from Gustav Krol is used to control Primax
Scanner and not Plustek scanner You might contact the Primax
guys...
