[sane-devel] Problems setting up Mustek 600 III EP Plus in Xubuntu

[Eddy De Greef]

Hi Juan Carlos,

now it looks like the ppdev module is no longer loaded. Can you try this 
again (both as root):

   modprobe ppdev
   SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_PA4S2=128 LIBIEEE1284_DEBUG=128 scanimage -L

(Make sure that you still have /etc/ieee1284.conf.)

Best regards,

Eddy
