[sane-devel] Mustek 1200CP scanner does not release parallel port

[Dario Berzano]

Hi,
  I own a Mustek 1200CP flatbed scanner connected via a parallel port.=20
After scanning, it seems that the SANE backend mustek_pp hangs and waits=20
for some data from the scanner, locking the parallel port. As a result,=20
the scanning head's lamp stays turned on and it does not return to its=20
home position. The only way to unlock the port is to kill the scanning=20
program (e.g. scanimage or xsane). I do not use saned.
  Another strange aspect is that I had to set up the cis600 driver=20
instead of the proper cis1200 one. With cis1200 (or cis1200+), the=20
scanned image is vertically stretched, and the scanning head tries to=20
scan out of range, making a loud, awful noise and damaging my hardware.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
