HP ScanJet Plus + Debian 2.0
Greetings folx. I have an old HP ScanJet Plus connected to my
parallel port that I cannot seem to get working with Debian 2.0 no
matter what I try.
The parallel port has Base I/O address 0x378. I believe that this
is /dev/lp0. Someone please confirm / correct this for me.
Secondly, I'm running Debian 2.0 "out of the box" (from CheapBytes 4
CD distribution, if it matters). It's an Intel 486/dx4-100, VLB
architecture, with the I/O card in an ISA slot.
I've killed lpd so as to not conflict with the scanner software,
'saned'. I manually (re-)loaded the lp.o module. I've configured
/etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/hosts.equiv, along with every
other file that I can think of that is mentioned in the saned(1)
manpage (but perhaps there's something here that I overlooked or
misconfigured). I created a link /dev/scanner -> /dev/lp0
when I run xcam and tell it to use either pnm:0 or pnm:1 (what are
these?) it tells me "invalid parameter" on that device. I've tried
specifying /dev/lp0 and /dev/scanner and get the same "invalid
parameter" result. It almost sounds like there is a module that needs
to be loaded in the kernel and is being overlooked.
Can anyone offer some clues here? Thanks in advance for your help.
