Hi,

I'm trying to get the scanner part of my AIO Lexmark X1185 working. I've 
taken the X5250 Lexmark Linux printer/aio driver developers kit (LLPDDK 
for short) and integrated it into sane-backends-1.0.15. I've gotten to 
the point where I can run some of the frontends to test the driver out. 
In fact the driver passes the basic tstbackend tests (level 0). However, 
when I try to test it using scanimage -T, I get a segmentation fault. 
Its failing in the sane_start() function at a call to 
llpddk_start_scan(), which in turn calls  SD_StartScan(). Unfortunately, 
Lexmark only provides object code and header files at this lowest level, 
so I can't really tell why its crashing. Any suggestions/hints on how to 
proceed?

regards,
