I have a HP Precision Scanjet 3200C. This device works well with the sane umax_pp backend since years (and distributions). After a new gentoo install, the scanner behaves abnormal. The scanner init works (scanimale -L) but when I want to do a scan, then scanimage (and xscanimage,xsane,kooka,...) waits for the data from the scanner and don't get them. The scanner dont scan. The device works well through vmware with win98 and on other windows OS. I searched for the reasons of that behaviour. I found out that the umax_pp test tool (included in sane-backends) works as expected. Then I merged an older version 1.0.13-r3 and there are no problems. I think some code in the new umax_pp backend (1.0.15) is messed up. have a nice day, sarah Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ">=media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.15" 2.setup umax_pp scanner with use of ppdev 3.scanimage -d umax_pp:/dev/parport0 Actual Results: scanimage waits for data, but it doesn't get them and the scanner don't move. Expected Results: do the scan :-D
This problem has to be addressed upstream (if it's broken in their sources and not in our ebuild). Looks like they are already aware of the problem, see https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=301578&group_id=30186&atid=410366 Thanks for reporting, anyway.
