[sane-devel] opticpro9636 T

[Ernie Schroder]

Does anyone have a Plustek parallel port scanner working on Gentoo, or 
can you see my problem?I am running plustek-module-0_40_17, xsane-0.86, 
sane-backends-1.0.9 and sane-frontends-1.0.9. parport, parport_pc and 
pt-drv load without errors. BIOS reports that the parallel port is EPP 
IRQ 7 and port=0x378. Here are the pertinent lines from 
/etc/modules.d/aliases and thus  /etc/modules conf:

alias char-major-40 pt_drv
       pre-install pt_drv modprobe -k parport
       options  pt_drv  lampoff=180  warmup=15  port=0x378 lOffonEnd=0
       mov=0 slowIO=0

I've edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to containn only one line: "plustek"

from dmesg:

pt_drv : driver version 0.40-18
pt_drv0: 9636T/12000T found on port 0x0378
pt_drv0: Lamp-Timer set to 180 seconds.
pt_drv0: WarmUp period set to 15 seconds.
pt_drv0: Lamp untouched on driver unload.
devfs_mk_dir(scanner): using old entry in dir: c2519640 ""
pt_drv : driver version 0.40-18
pt_drv0: 9636T/12000T found on port 0x0378
pt_drv0: Lamp-Timer set to 180 seconds.
pt_drv0: WarmUp period set to 15 seconds.
pt_drv0: Lamp untouched on driver unload

BUT, # scanimage -L returns:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

AND: #  scanimage --device-name=plustek:/dev/pt_drv
scanimage: open of device plustek:/dev/pt_drv failed: Error during 
device I/O

Though, as I said above BIOS reports the parallel port is assigned irq 
7,:

# cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:    1924024          XT-PIC  timer

AND:  cat  /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/irq
-1

Any help someone could give would be appreciated
