[sane-devel] Permissions problem with Epson 1640 & Solaris

[Johan Bengtsson]

Hi,

I'm having problems with an Epson 1640 SU under Solaris 8. Sane
backend: 1.0.7. 

# epson.conf
#
# here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend
#
# SCSI scanner:
scsi EPSON Perfection1640
/dev/scsi/processor/c1t5d0

# $Id: sgen_epson.conf,v 1.2 2002/03/27 11:11:04 elijah Exp $
#
# sgen config file for the scanners
#
# sbl, 010820
#modified for epson by elijah 2002-03-26

device-type-config-list="processor";

name="sgen" class="scsi" target=5 lun=0;

gorthaur:elijah 13:48 ~ > scanimage -L
device `epson:/dev/scsi/processor/c1t5d0' is a Epson Perfection1640
flatbed scanner

gorthaur:elijah 13:40 ~ > ls -laL /dev/scsi/processor/c1t5d0 
crw-rw----   1 root     scanner  151,   5 Mar 27 12:14  /dev/scsi/processor/c1t5d0

gorthaur:elijah 13:48 ~ > ls -laL /opt/pd/bin/scanimage
-rwxr-sr-x   1 root     scanner    119412 Mar  5 12:01 /opt/pd/bin/scanimage

gorthaur:elijah 13:40 ~ > /opt/pd/bin/scanimage -d epson:/dev/scsi/processor/c1t5d0
scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O

It works to scan as root. We have an Umax scanner that is set up with
exactly the config (not the same backend of course...) that works like it
should....
I would be grateful for any advice!

Best regards,
Johan Bengtsson
