Problem Detecting Scanner (HP3200C / Umax Astra 1220P) in Mandriva 2007
Scanner worked under Mandriva 2006 (kernel 2.6.12) but not under
Mandriva 2007 Cooker (kernel 2.6.17)
Extracted from output from dmesg:
(snip)
loop: loaded (max 8 devices, max 1 partitions per device)
parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
ppdev: user-space parallel port driver
Scanner is HP3200C / Umax Astra 1220P.
Using Mandriva Hardware Configuration: configure scanner manually -
results in message:
Astra 1220P is configured and ready to use with Xsane or Kooka.
Output from xsane:
[root@localhost adrian]# xsane
[umax_pp_low] sync610p failed (got 0x78 expected 0x38)!
(umax_pp_low.c:3733)

... (umax_pp_low.c:6363)
[umax_pp_low] initTransport610p() failed (umax_pp_low.c:6673
Output from kooka:

... (umax_pp_low.c:6363)
[umax_pp_low] initTransport610p() failed (umax_pp_low.c:6673)
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf:
device: /dev/parport0
port safe-auto
astra 1220
In /etc/sane.d/umax_pp.conf all are commented (#) except:
net
umax_pp
If I uncomment test then test0 appears in xsane as available device,
but not Umax 1220P!!
Have tried resetting scanner but no effect.
Can't think of anything else to try - am at my wits end. My ageing brain
is going in cricles. Do I just give up and reload Mandriva 2006 as a
last resort?
Mandriva Club Forum moderator gave the following suggestions:
Parallel port scanners have been reduced to lovely but
non-functional desktop ornaments. I've tried many times to build a
custom 2007 kernel that will bring mine to life again but no joy.
Don't blame Mandriva. Apparently the kernel.org developers have
thrown their PP scanners into the recycle bin. Mandriva's kernel
dev's took pity on us and kept PP scanners on life-support long
after other distros had already held a funeral and buried them.
You can file a Bugzilla report and I'd even vote for it but don't
hold your breath on getting resources assigned to this one. However,
there may be a way we can hit this thing with the defibrillator one
more time:
Oh Danny...at one time, Svetljo did some magic to keep these
scanners working. Do you by any chance know about those patches that
used to be in mm? I think they were actually applied to the 2006
main kernel per this Bugzilla report:
http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16743
Perhaps they can be resurrected in mm?
Can the same kernel patch/module that was used in Mandriva 2006 be
loaded in current kernel in Mandriva 2007? If so where might I find the
patch?
The Bugzilla report mentioned above did not appear to point to any
relevant patch.
Hello,
to see what's really going on do:
export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX_PP=255
export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX_PP_LOW=255
and send the debug output of scanimage -L . Get sure that /dev/parport0
can
be accessed read/write for the user that run the command.
I wouldn't blame the kernel too fast. My HP3200C is currently working
fine
here on an ubuntu 6.10 . More this bug id 16743 is related to ppscsi devices,
which are indeed orphaned, but the umax_pp is another thing. It only needs a
working ppdev. Debug traces will tell what's going on.
Regards,
Stef
