plustek: Thread: Scanner

To all that have helped me with the optic pro 600P. As root I could not get
scanner to work at all and could not get the debugger to work I switched to my
normal user and typed in the debug command and scanimage -L and it showed my 
scanner was attached and did a scanimage and it scanned but got a bunch
jibberish at the console. Now that it seems to work under normal user how do I
configure xsane so I can see if it scans and sends it to gimp to see if it
worked. once again thank you all for the help I guess you cannot run it under
root since it did not work there for me. but its working under my normal user
is this typical for the installation?

I have run it as both root and a regular user. In most cases you
need to be root to load the pt_drv.o driver. I don't understand
why it didn't work; maybe you could try it again. I use
xscanimage; just start it as "xscanimage plustek" with the driver
loaded and you should be able to do a scan. I have not gotten the
xscanimage plugin to work with gimp, but I understand that the
plugin to gimp does work with xsane. However, I have never used it
so I can't help.

Hi, i was wondering if it would be possible to have a set of instructions for 
Plustec Scanner model Optic Pro 12000P be mailed to me if at all possible.

You have contacted the mailing list for the Linux driver for Plustek
scanners.  I doubt there are any printed instructions that are not 
available
with the downloadable Linux driver source code... 

You probably want the company that makes the scanner.
German site: http://www.plustek.de/seite-e/main_page.html
USA site: http://www.plustekusa.com/

I have actually had better luck getting my scanner to work in Linux
than in Windows.  The programs I used in Windows had problems
when I scanned images.  I had to restart the computer between
every scan.  If I didn't the computer would freeze or reboot (as if
I pushed the reset button).  This got annoying very fast.

I was very happy when I saw there was a Linux driver.  I had some
minor problems after installing the driver.  It would only sporadically
work.  I wrote to the list, had an answer within a day, tried the
recommendations and it has worked great ever since.

Install SANE from your distribution disk, then go to:

home.t-online.de/home/g-jaeger/plustek.html

download the latest plustek-module tar-ball and check the installation
instructions inside the tar-ball or on the web-page...

We're sorry, but this mailing list is about Plustek drivers for the 
GNU/Linux operating system, see
http://www.linux.org/
http://www.gnu.org/
for more information about GNU/Linux operating system.
If you're looking for Windows 95 drivers, and drivers didn't come with 
your scanner, then I suggest visiting Plustek's website and looking for 
answers there:

Hi I have A plustek optic pro 600p and it worked fine with my old pc but it won't work on my new pc with windows xp is their A driver I can use to install this I really don't want to buy another scanner. thanks    ####@####.####

Hi,

if you need assistance with the Plustek stuff and that strange
OS called Windoze, use the official Plustek support at
www.plustek.com or www.plustek.de

This list deals only with problems concerning a driver that
let us work with Plustek scanner under Linux...

But AFAIK the OP600P is not supported anymore on 
systems > win98...
