I was given a canoscan N640P scanner and simply cannot get this thing to work in Fedora core 6.
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON claims that the N640P has good support under sane, so the theory is that it should work :-). One thing I've noticed before with printer port devices is that there are several different ways you can configure the printer port in the system bios, and sometimes some configs work better than others.

Hi Tom, Thanks for responding. I've been to that link and have tried the different bios settings. It simply didn't work. This is why I'm frustrated.

Have you tried running your scanner software as root?

Sane will bitch about it every time you do that. Annoying as Hell. Stallman's ghost is in there into perpetuity. ;) Ric

Try running xirc as root. ;-) There is a very real, and big, risk with going on IRC as root, and the warning is appropriately strong. I seem to recall it actually includes an insult. ;-)
