[sane-devel] Problems setting up Mustek 600 III EP Plus in Xubuntu

[Juan Carlos García]

Thanks, Eddy.

Synaptic reports I have libieee1284-3 installed (version 0.2.11-3). I tried
with /etc/ieee1284.conf and still didn't work, but now it could "attach" to
partport0 even though it couldn't "initialize" it:
