primax: Thread: jewel 4800

Hello,

I trying to get a Jewel 4800 SCSI Scanner to run under SuSE 7.2 Linux. 
Unfortunately I couldn't find a driver for this scanner. Primax does 
not have one an TECO the real producer does not come back with any 
answer.  
Does anyone know how to make the Jewel 4800 SCSI work under Linux ??

Thanks a lot 
Michael Hoeller

Hello,

I have a problem with my jewel 4800 scsi scanner. It was sold by Primax and 
produced from TECO as far as I know. The scanner is recognized but not 
detected .. I hope that some one has a hint for me how I get this scanner to 
work..

That is what find-scanner says:
find-scanner: found scanner "Primax Jewel 1.01" at device /dev/sg1
I have set the softlink and the rights

That is from  /proc:
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

That is from scanimage -L:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came
with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). -> Done, but no luck.

It seems that it scanner is not supported.... Bad luck? But maybe there is a 
work-a-round? Are there simmilare products which drivers I may can try?

Thanks a lot 
Michael :-)
