Hi Steve,

Had a look at metalab site. As U mentioned the scanman is quite old and the
color version is not supported by the driver available, bad luck.

Thanks for ur info. Maybe I can email the developers and check if they have
anything


Cheers
Sridhar

Sridhar,

The Logitech Scanman series is quite old and was waay before SANE's
time.  I _do_ recall there being a standalone driver for the Scanman
series that I picked up from Metalabs a few years ago.  I'm not sure
where it was kept, but it seemed to work fine for the Scanman 256 that I
had at the time.

Give metalabs a try, it's probably still there...

That means that it is probably not supported well. If it is a paralel-port
device, it probably isn't supported at all. Sugestion:

1) Ask the Logitech, and complain about lack of support. 
2) ask the sane developers.

(1) will probably not bring you far, but it is good for logitech & for you  
to make them clear there is a dissatisfied customer. Basically, the reason
why something is not supported can be either that the company is unwilling
to pass the documentation, or that noone cares to write a driver because
the device is extremely rare. Usually it is the former.

Hi,

Had a look at the SANE web page. The Logitech Scanman color is not listed.
Does it mean that my scanner is not supported.

Thanks
Sridhar
