Hi, sane web page: http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/sane/ gimp web page: http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~gimp/ This is what I did to the scsi subsystem: /sys/scsi/scsiconf.c: static struct scsidevs unknowndev = { T_UNKNOWN, T_UNKNOWN, 0, "*", "*", "*", "uk", SC_ONE_LU /* "uk", SC_MORE_LUS*/ }; /sys/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c: case XS_BUSY: SC_DEBUG(xs->sc_link,SDEV_DB3,("busy\n")); screq->retsts = SCCMD_BUSY; break; default: /*sc_print_addr(xs->sc_link); */ screq->retsts = SCCMD_UNKNOWN; break; } I changed "default:" to just pass along the "unknown" error messages. With my umax-s12 I was getting scsi error messages of type "INTERMEDIATE" when the umax was busy and sane was sending scsi messages to it. Hopefully, one of our scsi experts will fix scsi_ioctl to handle properly all scsi error messages. With the ioctl patch you don't need to run the scanner with scsi disconnect disabled as the sane documentation recommends. Haven't check out tagged queuing however I doubt that it will be a problem. ---- mknod /dev/uk0 --- download sane and gimp from my ftp site: ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/gimp-0.9.10.tar.gz ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/sane-0.6.tar.gz ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/out.jpg out.jpg is a sample scan of a picture taken at 100dpi resolution. You will need gmake to compile gimp and sane Additionally define : setenv CC gcc Try no to type ./configure for gimp or sane if you do be prepare to fix up the build problems. compile and install gimp . This should be no problem. compile and install sane-0.6 copy sane-0.6/backend/dll.conf to /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf make sure that dll.conf has mustek in it: {root} more backend/dll.conf # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: #net pnm mustek hp qcam umax --- ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib cp gimp/frontend/.libs/xscanimage /usr/local/lib/gimp/0.99.10/plug-ins/xscanimage If all goes well you will be able to run sane: xscanimage mustek or run gimp and select from the Xtns menu "Acquire Image". If you have problems you can trace your scsi transactions: scsi -f /dev/uk0 -d 255 make sure that you compile a kernel with the option "SCSIDEBUG" To talk to the scsi scanner I use the scsi library and the same approach should work with your mustek -- I hope. Anyhow I cant test the software over here because I don't have a mustek scanner. sane uses low level scsi calls to talk to the scsi scanners. Also it will be nice if someone just takes over sane and scsi friends what I have is a good start given that at least it works with my UMAX S12. I am running FreeBSD 3.0-current no clue if any of this works on earlier releases of FreeBSD. Last but not least I will be out of town till Wednesday . Good Luck !
