No RPMS,

for 1.0.5, please use the latest plustek-module-0_39_7.tar.gz...
The installation instructions are alwasy the same...

unpack
go to directory plustek_driver
do a 
make all
the as root
do a
make install
and 
make load

That's it (in general ;-))

I have been sucessful in getting the scanner to work,after quite alot of fitting
software pieces together, :) I wonder if I can add the line modprobe pt_drv to
etc/boot.local or do I just need to load the module each time I want to use the
scanner? Hey I'm glad it works! The reply about changing dll.config helped stop
problems I was having. thanks again

Putting modprobe pt_drv to boot.local works fine here for me!

Hi David,

please be more specific! What are your system specifications?
Where are your problems? There are some installation instructions,
maybe somewhat outdated, but a starting point?
Please start with the installation and come back if you have specific
problems!
One starting point is to find out which SANE version you have,
then go to the download page at www.gjaeger.de and select the correct
plustek-module tgz...

Cheers
   Gerhard

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[plustek_pp] sane_exit

Optipro 9636T scanner is plugged on parallel port and is switch on power on.

Can someone explain me where is the problem ?

Hmmm, all looks good, just did some tests here. What about SANE, could you
check if the libieee1284 has been compiled in? sane-config --libs should show
something like:
sane-config --libs
-lsane -lusb -lpthread -lm  -ljpeg -lieee1284  -lgphoto2 -lgphoto2_port -lm -lresmgr -ldl

Oh, now I see the problem, it's the x86_64 mode! The backend has an issue there.
I will submit a patch today and then it should work - checkout CVS-snapshot tomorrow.
backend version will be: 0.43-9

Ciao,
Gerhard
