[sane-devel] Plustek Scanner (again)

[Jaeger, Gerhard]

Hi,

the problem is, that your scanner is not recognized by the driver. In that
case the beast is not loaded and you get these strange error messages.
Why is it not loaded?
No idea! You might enable the debug output of the kernel module and
send me the output to check the problem...
