Hi all, im having a problem with my Lexmark all-in-one X1190, I am under the
impression the scanner is supported by the Lexmark backend but when I try to
scan anything firstly the scanner makes a lot of noise for around 30 seconds,
then it seems to find home and scan. The problem is that once it has scanned I
just get a lot of coloured stripes as the output? It looks as though the
scanner is working, but the backend isn't understanding what the scanner is
sending to it.
Also if I run scanimage -T the scanner doesn't seen to do anything and the
program just hangs, if I press ctrl-c to quit it responds with trying to stop
scanner and then just hangs again, a second ctrl-c is required to exit, then a
reboot to get any functionality from the scanner again. Not sure if it helps
but the printer works perfectly, in fact its better than it was under windows.
I have included the output of scanimage -V if it helps, but I'm at a loss!
# scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18; backend version 1.0.18
also, not sure if this helps either, but im running Debian Unstable and have
installed sane-utils and sanelibs-dev from the Unstable repository. The
machine is a 266Mhz ARM based NSLU2
as advised by a user a long time ago, i have installed ubuntu 6.10 on my i386
based pc and i have the exact same results. i am willing to send any log files
or additional information you may need. also im not a programmer but i know my
way around linux ok (please note ok) so i am willing to help in any way
possible. im also competent with a screwdriver so if you need any extra
hardware info i can supply this too. cheers for an help anyone can give me! bryn

Have you installed both:
iscan-2.3.0-1.c2.i386.rpm (or later)
iscan-plugin-gt-s600-2.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
If yes, then things should work out of the box.

I've pinged our support people about this.

More information would be appreciated ;-)
- what distribution?
- what version?
- if Debian based, did you use alien's --scripts option?
- if Fedora Core 5 or later, have you looked at:
http://avasys.jp/hp/page00600/hpg00578.htm
- can you provide debugging output?
To create debugging output:
SANE_DEBUG_DLL=10 SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=50 iscan 2> debug.out
and provide the debug.out file this generates.
Hope this helps,
