Hi-<br><br>I have a Microtek ScanMaker 3800 scanner. It uses the same chip (SCAN08) as other scanners supported by the sm3840 backend. I modified the USB id in the sm3840.c (and sm3840.conf) files. The scanner is now recognized with scanimage -L (though I still have a permissions issue when actually scanning and have to use sudo). An image file is produced as output, but the lamp does not move to actually scan anything, so the image is blank. It makes noises like the lamp is stuck, or moving the wrong direction. I have tried multiple resolutions and modes, to no avail (I'll keep trying permutations, in case one works). The entire story of things I've tried is here: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515896" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515896</a> I've attached the output of scanimage -T, and the log of a 150dpi Color scan.<br>
<br>Does anyone have any suggestions?<br><br>-Edward<br>
