I tried this parallel-port scanner question on the sane-devel list, but no luck. I wonder if anyone here might know the answer?:
I have just bought a Plustek OptikPro 9636P+ parallel port scanner from a charity shop -- no proof that it works except that the light comes on when I power it up, but no particular reason to think it doesn't work. I have built the pt_drv (sane plustek parallel-scanner) kernel module (after a couple of minor hacks to get it to compile with gcc-3.4), but when I try to load it, the following happens: zebedee build # insmod pt_drv.ko mov=3 insmod: error inserting 'pt_drv.ko': -9020 Function not implemented dmesg tells me: pt_drv : driver version 0.43-5 pt_drv : no device(s) detected, (-9020) A google search tells me that several other people have had the same "no device(s) detected, (-9020)" message when trying to get plustek scanners to work. Unfortunately most of them had their problems in various central European languages, so I am still in the dark. What should I do to get linux to recognise my scanner?
