Hola, Gandhi. MDK xsane, and all related stuff (for UMAX Astra, and compatibles) are broken. Justo go to http://umax1220p.sourceforge.net/ and follow instructions. Works fine here.

Re: [newbie] Scanner probs
I usually try to scan images in XSane, but XSane can't capture any imaging devices what soever. And when I click the configuration for my scanner, it's says it's downloading packages to install the driver, but it just kreezes up ( and sometimes crashes KDE) - Original Message - From: Derek Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Scanner probs On Friday 01 Nov 2002 11:19 pm, Andy wrote: i don't know if im allowed to sorta bump this message, sorry if i do, but i really want help on this :-/ - Original Message - From: Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 6:40 PM Subject: [newbie] Scanner probs Well as of right now I don't have Linux installed, but if I can figure this out i'll reinstall it (if I have all of my hardware working, then why use Windows? =p) Ok, so anyways, when I had Linux, it seemed to know that I had a HP ScanJet 3300C scanner plugged in (in the hardware listing and such).

Re: [newbie] Scanner probs
Well if it is not able to install all the SANE RPMs then of course it will not capture images. You may have a bad update source defined. Take a look at the sources in Mandrake ControlCentreSoftwareSoftwareSources Try replacing your update source with this one . ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS You might also like to install the libsane, sane-backends, xsane and xsane-gimp RPMS from the software manager instead of letting scannerdrake do it. BTW: Which version of mandrake are we talking about here? Its just that I have looked at the update list for 9.0, and I cannot see anything in there for scanners, so I am wondering what it is trying to download. derek On Saturday 02 Nov 2002 1:11 am, Andy wrote: I usually try to scan images in XSane, but XSane can't capture any imaging devices what soever.
