I have installed and configured the software according with the 
instructions, but I can not get the scanner to transmit images.

xsane tells me: NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
scanimage --test says: scanimage: no SANE devices found

When I do "ptal-hp mlc:par:0 device", i get this: 

Model name:        PSC 500
Model number:      (unavailable)
Serial number:     SGH01E16Z8WZ
Firmware version:  MRE.1 release 19990906
Firmware datecode: (unavailable)
Total RAM size:    1048576 bytes

Which means that somehow I do have connectivity with the scanner.

Also, when I do 

ptal-connect mlc:par:0 -scan

The scanner moves a bit, but does not do anything. I have to press CTRL+C 
after a while to get to the console.

Mi conf looks like this:

--dll.conf--
net
hp

--hp.conf--
mlc:par:0
option connect-ptal


What am I missing ? HELP !!!!!!!!!!

Thank you
Julian
