[sane-devel] Epson Perfection 4990 driver

[JD]

I went to the epson-avasys web site and found they provide
these files for this scanner:

iscan-2.10.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
iscan_2.10.0-1.tar.gz
userg_revG_e.pdf

I have not trie their driver yet. Will let you know once I have the scanner.

 there are 3 backends which support this machine. the one which lists
 these two points is external to sane, so you might want to ask avasys
 directly. of the other two, one is unmaintained, and the other is new,
 so we may not be able to provide you with an answer.

 maybe you can get one and tell us :)

[sane-devel] OT: cleaning Scanjet glass platen?

[jd]

Looks like thereis oil on the backside of the platen.

Removing the platen for cleaning is not obvious.

Has anyone pulled it out for cleaning?

Would I require a cleanroom or cleanbox?

[sane-devel] HP Scanjet 3P io errors

[jd]

I found nothing related in the archives:

Using sane front  back ends v1.0.7

Device is Scanjet 3P and ADF, model 2570A, firmware 3430.
Connected to Buslogic BT946C.

sane does not seem to like my scanner. It returns io device errors.
Works fine with epson scanner.

Using RedHat 7.3, latest  lastest updates.

 From dmesg:

(Manually insmod'd scsi_hostadapter later. But it makes no 
difference whether it is loaded or not.)


sane-find-scanner detects the device at /dev/sg0

sane -d hp:/dev/sg0 *(any command or option)   returns Error during 
device I/O and the help page.
THis occurs with or without option dumb-read

 From /etc/sane.d/hp.conf: (RedHat's default location)

scsi hp
option dumb-read
/dev/sg0
   
 From another form of hp.conf:

scsi HP C2570A Processor 0 00 00 00
option connect-scsi
option dumb-read

hptool's hpinq returns the model number and firmware code but then 
returns nothing but io errors on stderr and
error in inquiry for each command.


This scanner works with windoze.

I have no idea what is going on. Does anyone?

Thanks...
