Hello! I need your help ;) I have a quite old GT6500 Epson flatbed scanner I want to make work under FreeBSD. My OS is FreeBSD 4.2-BETA #0 (I am compiling a new one now) Sane is 1.0.3 dmesg says about my parralel port: ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 I changed the sane dll.conf file to have just "epson" uncommented. I edited epson.conf so it looks like : # here are examples for how to configure the EPSON backend scsi EPSON # option color_correction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 # #pio 0x278 pio 0x378 #pio 0x3BC #scsi EPSON # /dev/scanner # usb /dev/usbscanner But: bash-2.03# scanimage scanimage: no SANE devices found bash-2.03# scanimage -d epson:/dev/ppi0 scanimage: open of device epson:/dev/ppi0 failed: Invalid argument bash-2.03# scanimage -d epson:/dev/lpt0 <waits 1 or 2 seconds> scanimage: open of device epson:/dev/lpt0 failed: Invalid argument Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day! Philippe. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
