    Hi. I am trying to connect a MicroTek Scanmaster E3 to an Intel RH7.3
    box via parallel cable and I need help.

    I think I have the right modules installed:

    [jeffs@sixl jeffs]$ /sbin/lsmod

    sg 34532 0 (autoclean) (unused)

    jbd 48920 2 [ext3]

    However, sane-find-scanner doesn't find it
    [jeffs@sixl jeffs]$ sudo sane-find-scanner
    # Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
    # to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal
    # Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners
    # that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that
    # is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.

    # If your scanner uses SCSI, you must have a driver for your SCSI
    # adapter and support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your Operating System
    # in order for the scanner to be used with SANE. If your scanner is
    # NOT listed above, check that you have installed the drivers.

    [jeffs@sixl jeffs]$

    So then I tried scanimage -L and it can't find the scanner either. I
    then tried explicitly naming the scanner and it may be that this isn't
    right. It didn't work.
    [jeffs@sixl jeffs]$ scanimage -d mostek:/dev/sg0 --mode Color > Sarah.png
    scanimage: open of device mostek:/dev/sg0 failed: Invalid argument

    So clearly I am doing something wrong - anybody have any advice?

    Many thanks,

    Jeff
