Maybe you could add this to the code to:
case 0x44
printf("\Looks like a Primax Colorado D600OEM\n");
break;
I found out the error message I got:
can not identify the scanner: error code 44
Although I don't now much about programming I found out it had something to
do with the DEFINE MODE_F 0x0F line in primax_scan.h
This value is 04 but just before switching the lamp on it got value 44, so I
added the lines mentioned above and now the scanner is identified.

As from driver 0.92a and above, primax_scan just freezes, the CCD is moving
a millimeter and the does indeed not switch off. Nothing happens anymore. I
can stop the process with ^C, after this primax_scan -loff works.
I have mailed this before, but I have not found a solution yet, the scan
output is still a black image, does anyone has a solution? I once read a
mail from NicolasD, who has a Totalscan, and his output was also a black
image. He doesn't not have a solution either.
