mtriley98 Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 From my research it appears my parrellel port scanner was last supported by the sane 1.09 that was part of the mandrake 9.0 distro. I like the 9.1 distro and look forward to 9.2 but I'm wondering if there is an easy, or even a possible way to substitute the latest sane package with the older version. I tried to install 9.0 and upgrade everything not scanner related to 9.1. I tried a clean 9.1 install and tried to replace sane with the rpms from the 9.0 cd. I am currently trying to install sane from the .tar files but there seems to be alot of interconnected packages. The scanner is a Mustek 600 lll EP Plus and, for as much as I use it, not worth the effort I'm putting into the project Any thoughts are welcome, I just got internet via cable instead of dial up and it has sparked my intrest in this project. It is not nearly as tedious to download files and try different packages just to see how it works. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Its strange that SANE no longer supports your scanner, but what happens when you try to install the 9.0 rpms on your 9.1 system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
