Please send the output of SANE_DEBUG_GT68XX=255 scanimage -d gt68xx -h and gdb scanimage ("run -d gt68xx -h"). So we may find out what's going wrong. > I see the firmware file name for the X7? scanner in the source code. > There is no file on the X83 CDs with a name anywhere similar.

You'll only get the firmware if you install the driver on Windows... You can download a firmware from the Lexmark web site for this scanner. It's a .exe zip that inflates to two more .exe files and a fw581.bin. The latter one i 380 KB in size so I guess it's not a GT-68XX firmware. Maybe it's for the printer? The other alternative is that there is just no firmware and therefore no GT-6816 chip. You can try without firmware. E.g. SANE_DEBUG_GT68XX=255 scanimage -d gt68xx >pnm.log If it complains about missing firmware, you may have luck. If it just hangs or talks about i/o error, it may not be an GT6816 chip. Bye, Henning
