[newbie] Anybody got Sane working yet?
I've tried to use Sane under MDK 7.2 but with no luck so far. It tells me that no sane devices are detected. I have a Plustek 9630 parallel port scanner and there appears to be a Plustek back end. Is there anything I need to configure to get a result? All advice welcome. Graham Watkins

Graham, I've tried to use Sane under MDK 7.2 but with no luck so far. It tells me that no sane devices are detected. I have a Plustek 9630 parallel port scanner and there appears to be a Plustek back end. Is there anything I need to configure to get a result? Though it didn't work for me -- I have the same scanner, but it won't work in either lm7.2 ~or~ Windows. I'd wasted the whole of a weekend trying to get it working. Anyway, there is an update for the Plustek backend. Trouble is, it requires numerous updates -- at least one of which is an unstable cooker update. May or may not work for you. In the end, I was left with a still unworking scanner various minor problems I couldn't figure out. Doubt it's related, but eventually, my video wouldn't accept any settings above 16-bit colour a very bad refresh rate. So, I'd reinstalled got rid of the whole mess. Let me know if you figure it out, though. Meph -- "I did this 'cause Linux gives me a woody." -Dave '-ddt-' Taylor, announcing DOOM for Linux
Re: [newbie] Anybody got Sane working yet?
i have also messed with SANE a bit. no luck. at the moment i'm just letting it slide. my scanner isn't fully supported by linux yet anyhow, so i still have to use win to make full colour scans. hopefully soon SANE will be more idiot proof and i'll be able to figure it out.=) Adrian Smith 'de telepone dude Telecom Dept. x 7042 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Meph Istopheles [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7:27:15 AM 3/16/01 Graham, I've tried to use Sane under MDK 7.2 but with no luck so far.
