Yeah, I know, that's why I said I don't plan to submit it. I have better things to do than try making this compile on ancient^Waging systems :) If anybody wants to do it, all the better, but if it makes the code as unreadable and stupid as it was in coolscan2.c (like parsing bytes from a string at runtime...) then I will not take such a patch nor help maintain a forked version. johannes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The SANE distro included with Ubuntu initially recognizes the scanner, but then pops up an error message two or three times saying: Failed to obtain value of option source: Invalid argument. After closing the error message for the third time, SANE crashes. Then I can't access the scanner without a reboot. Suggestions? Permissions problem? SCSI problem? Hardware problem? SANE has worked before with this scanner, on the same machine but running YDL 4. I'm not the most fluent in Linux, so if the answer is obvious, my apologies.
