Hello,
thanks for your mailing list , i hope i'll find the answer of my problem. I'm
newbie, so sorry if i annoy you with my question...
i try to use my Scanjet 4300C scanner under Linux Mandrake 8 distribution.
for this, i installed Sane 1.0.4; Sane doesn't speak about this Scanner which
is both a parallel & a USB scanner like HP5200C (so my experience would be
interesting for others who have the same scanner)
i follow the instruction from www.torque.net page about ppScsi.
i patch my 2.4.3 kernel with linux-ppscsi.patch
i can load all modules except the protocol modules epst; lsmod gives me
this...
lp 5296 0 (unused)
...
ppscsi 11360 0
parport_pc 13456 1
parport 24576 1 [lp ppscsi parport_pc]
sg 25392 0 (unused)
ide-scsi 7568 0
scsi_mod 85312 2 [ppscsi sg ide-scsi]
if i try to load epst module, it gives me the following error :
Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/epst.o : init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
dmesg give me this :
...
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
Vendor: CDWriter Model: IDE4x4x24 Rev: Z024
...
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,EPP]
parport0: Found 1 daisy-chained devices (perhaps my scanner :-]
ppSCSI 0.92 (0.92) installed
...
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
a cat /proc/devices gives me this :
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 ttyp
4 ttyS
5 cua
6 lp
7 vcs
10 misc
14 sound
21 sg
108 ppp
116 alsa
128 ptm
136 pts
162 raw
Block devices:
2 fd
3 ide0
7 loop
22 ide1
in your page you say that we must have an appropriate adapter connected to
one of our parallel ports, and that our SCSI bus is powering the adapter. I
don't know how to "powering the adapter" (is this already made ?)
again thanks for your help, and a great Hello from France :-) !
bye.
