Hello! When I call sane_start() it returns SANE_STATUS_INVAL (4). This happens both when I use the API and the scanimage binary. scanimage -L reveals: device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 virtual device I don't have anything else to test with, but I pressume grabbing

The sane v4l support is probably broken, as that code is unmaintained. you could enable debugging info for it, but then you would have to start fixing the backend. better to get a supported scanner. allan On 12/15/07, Peter Gebauer wrote: > Hello! > > When I call sane_start() it returns SANE_STA

Can anyone give me advice about what I can do to diagnose this problem? (commands to run... debugging flags to turn on... log files to scour, etc.). Does anybody have an idea what "Invalid argument" might possibly mean? I'm dyin' here :) On Sun, 2006-09-17 at 19:51 -0400, Tzadik Vanderhoof wrot

Exactly the same problem with my Canon Lide 60, but unfortunately no solution so far. I should say that scanning never really worked 'great', there were some minor issues in the past that I could only scan a limited number of pages (most times only one) until I got 'invalid argument' but however, d
