i'm trying to get my acerscan 320p parallel scanner to be recognized by my
redhat 7.0 box. i'm using the stock kernel and stock modules. i can't seem
to figure out how to configure /etc/sane.d/* or /etc/conf.modules to recognize
my scanner, let alone to know exactly which apps to use or in what order to
use them.
i read all the documentation i could find on this topic, then experimented
with GIMP's SANE plugin and attempted to tweak my sane.d configs but had no
luck. i haven't compiled a custom kernel yet, because i don't know if it's
even necessary; and if so, exactly which options i'm going to need for this
project to work (and everything else i care about works, so "if it ain't
broke..."). after all my experimentation failed, i asked around on #linpeople
on several occasions, i was given the rude answers to RTFM or to buy a scsi
scanner.
i know that only a select few parallel port scanners are even known to work
under linux, but i'd like to at least get pointed in the right direction on
testing mine. please fill in the blanks for me where the documentation left
off. or maybe point me to specific parts of specific documentation.
possibly including working config scripts for me to use as an example would
give me what I needed. i originally thought that i would need the ppscsi
module to make the scanner work with the scsi drivers that come with SANE.
but that was 2 years ago. anyone know if ppscsi still exists? do i need it?
thanks in advance for your help.
