I've just installed sane with the mustek_pp backend. I had no /dev/scanner entry in my /dev directory therefore, after much scrabbling around and guessing, I created a symbolic link from /dev/lp0 to /dev/scanner.
I chose /dev/lp0 as this is the entry in /etc/printcap that equates to the lp printer, and my mustek 1200cp scanner (CIS chipset with the software patch from Eddy DeGreef) shares that port. I edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and removed the comment in front of mustek_pp. I edited /etc/sane.d/mustek_pp.conf and changed the port to 0x3bc as per the instrcutions in that file. My problem is that when I run xsane I get the message 'no devices available'. I've tried specifying mustek_pp:/dev/scanner and mustek_pp:/dev/lp0 (and 1). But all of these fail. Can someone tell me what I've done wrong, or have missed? Thanks in advance, Jim
