I used xscanimage and xsane, and in the two of them I have teh same 
problem. I tried all, color, grayscale and lineart and it outputs a 
black image.

Ok, I will sent to you the log file although to the list I will sent 
without it because it doesn't accept files longer then 40 KB.  My 
scanner is a parport.

Thanks for the help.

Jose
PS: I tried as the example given in the man page:
scanimage -l0 -t0 -x100 -y20 2>scan2.log >sout.pnm
but the option -y20 give an error always so I took it out and used
scanimage -l0 -t0 -x100  2>scan2.log >sout.pnm
