My Colorado 600 don't function...
I try to install libtiff v3.5.5 and the problem continue, they "walk" 2 inch
and back (the image generated is poor)

How can I use verbose or anything to monitore it??

The windows driver for primax 600 function perfectly (it's a clone - genius
color page vivid+/pro)

I am using slackware 7 linux.

Thank's

Hi all - thanks to all who have been working hard to enable us Primax 
owners to ditch windows.

I need a bit more help however....

I have compiled and installed primaxd 0.5 but when I try to execute it 
it comes back with a woefull face, and tells me that scanner did not 
switch to epp mode (I have set this in the bios) and that it could not 
find a compatable scanner.

I have the scanner connected to the parallel port (by itself, no 
pass-thru's) and switched on.

I am using an AMD 1000 200fsb, 256 megs ram and an aer m'board. Linux is 
Mandrake 8.1

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tony

I had the same problem too, when I set up ECP+EPP i BIOS. When I set only EPP 
in BIOS everything was OK. 
If it doesn't help, I suggest some patch in the source code which works for 
me even if I set ECP+EPP. In file lp.c from primax_scan-0.93beta3 around line 
87, after 

void epp_on(void)
{
    DBG(DBG_LOW,"epp_on:\n");
    set_iopl(1);
    port_mode = io_inb(port + 0x402);
    port_feature = port_probe(port);

just add line

port_feature|=0x300;

cheating EPP checking (regardless of BIOS settings, the test is always passed)

I'm writting a small patch for primax, which features:

-F option forcing EPP (cheating EPP checking). I think this is useful, 
because this is common problem, and setting only EPP in BIOS often makes 
scanning under window$ impossible (it needs ECP)

-L -S options which L)oads and S)aves callibration data which makes scanning 
much more faster (on my MM100 scanner at least)

I'm not a developer of The Primax Scanner Driver Project for Linux/UN*X but 
if you or the developer team are interested in that patch I'll be glad to 
give it to you.


best regards

ok. please make sure you use the latest CVS version for development and simply
send the patches here or directly to me together with a little description.

I already got some calibibration saving patch, but as fas as I can see
it has no command line enhanchements. is calibration data saving
_really_ wanted by the folks?

Pleas tell us on this list. I'd don't really like this feature.
