[sane-devel] Problems with plustek_pp in FreeBSD

I'm not sure if it's a system config, porting, backend or libieee1284 
problem.  I'm trying to get a parport plustek opticpro 4800p working in 
FreeBSD 5.2.1-Release.  I have sane-backends 1.0.14 with libieee1284 
0.2.8 installed.

When I do a scanimage -L, I get the "no scanners were identified...." 
msg.  I've attached the debugging output from it.  By the looks of the 
messages it seems to open the parport just fine using libieee, but dies 
during negotiation (after "[plustek_pp] We're using libIEEE1284 I/O"). 
Digging into the libieee code, the only way to get the "Failed at event 
2" message is if it times out during a wait_status call in default.c.

I've looked at this off and on for several days and just don't have any 
more ideas left.

Thanks,
Micah

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).

DMESG:
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold
ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0

BIOS:  Parport is currently set to EPP/ECP (originally just EPP)
I have a parport zip attached too, and it properly sees the parport as 
EPP, and yes I have tried with the zip physically detached running a 
kernel w/o zip support.
