well, i dusted off my ancient 6200C and tried it with current sane cvs- i get: ... [hp] sane_start called [hp] hp_GetOpenDevice: device libusb:003:006 is open with fd=0 [hp] Start downloading parameters to scanner [hp] sanei_hp_optset_scan_type: scantype=0 [hp] scsi_flush: writing 2 bytes: [hp] 0x0000 1B 45 .E [hp] scsi_flush: writing 7 bytes: [hp] 0x0000 1B 2A 73 32 35 37 45 .*s257E [hp] scl_inq: read failed (End of file reached) [hp] scl_errcheck: Can't read SCL error stack: End of file reached [hp] scsi_close: closing fd 0 [hp] hp_IsOpenFd: 0 is open [hp] scsi_close: not closing. Keep open [hp] sane_start will finish with Error during device I/O scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O ... which seems to be a failure even sooner than yours. i do not know for sure if this thing works anymore, but it did when i last used it a couple years ago. i dont have the docs or the time to dig into this, but perhaps someone who knows SCL is listening? allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
