Having found the scanner, running 'scanimage -d umax:/dev/scanner' fails. The scanner attempts to start up then dies, uninstalling the scanner in the process. Here is a partial screendump of the output of the command. --- hading_data [umax] 8 bit shading-line 63 read [umax] read_shading_data [umax] 8 bit shading-line 64 read [umax] send_shading_data [umax] shading-data sent [umax] start_scan [umax] starting scan [umax] sane_get_parameters [umax] reader_process started [umax] reader_process: allocating SCSI buffer[1] [umax] reader_process: starting to READ data [umax] trim_rowbufsize: row_bufsize = 84150 bytes = 33 lines [umax] reading 2983500 bytes in blocks of 84150 bytes [umax] wait_scanner [umax] scanner reports Error during device I/O, waiting ... ##Here it just hangs until I enter Ctrl C ## scanimage: received signal 2 scanimage: trying to stop scanner [umax] sane_cancel [umax] do_cancel [umax] killing reader_process [umax] reader_process: terminated by signal 15 [umax] reader_process killed [umax] trying to release scanner ...

Is there any more info I can supply? -- Cheers Russ.
