Any ideas?
I had a similar problem with my IIc. It had to do with the sg module, but I can't remember if it was that the module wasn't installed or merely not loaded. Try "sudo modprobe sg" and then reconnect the scanner to see if it is recognized. As a warning: even after I got it installed, it never worked that well. I had run both Xsane and Simple Scan because invariably one would refuse to work. When it did work, I had to fix every scan in Gimp because the levels were way off. No amount of calibration would stick. Eventually my printer died, and the cheapest replacement I could find also had a scanner. That worked flawlessly, so I ditched the IIc. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
