Parallel Port Scanner on OpenSuse 11.3

English Hardware
1

Just updated to Suse 11.3, in past versions, including 11.2 I could activate my Epson parallel scanner this way:

Modify this file removing the ‘#’ form the line ‘#epson’

/etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Modify this file to indicate which port to use, like this:

/etc/sane.d/epson.conf

epson.conf

here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend

SCSI scanner:

scsi EPSON

for the GT-6500:

scsi “EPSON SC”

Parallel port scanner:

#pio 0x278
pio 0x378
#pio 0x3BC

It doesn’t work anymor, the parallel port is apparently active since I can do:

ls -l /dev/lp0

And I get:

-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 12 Dec 22 19:51 /dev/lp0

Help ?

SOLVED:

Procedure was the correct one to follow, there was another ‘epson.conf’ file, delete one, reset and it worked.
