Hi Alexander ! Thanks for responding.
Yes, I still have problems to get my parportscanner to work in Linux. The scanner is stonedead, no matter what I do ... But it works great in Win98. You said I should use strace ... Ok, I haven't tested that, so way not ? But I´am getting error when I do the code you recommended ? I get this: [root] # strace -o /tmp/scan.txt SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1 scanimage -L strace: SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1: command not found
What am I doing wrong ?
I do not see why you installed the sane-backend from sources. Didn't SANE shipping with Fedora Core work either? Do you have the RPM installed too? Could be a conflict then now.
I installed from sources, because I wanted the latest version (sane-backends-1.0.15). No, the sane-version that shipped with Fedora Core didn't work either. No, I havent the RPM installed also, that package is deinstalled. So, there is no conflicts with other sane-packages.
I´ve also posted my problem to Fedoraforum: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44825
I must say that your posting is a fine example how a good problem description looks like. Excellent.
Thank you ! I realy want a solution on my problem, so I hope there is no misunderstandings. My native language is swedish, so I hope my english is intelligible.
Any help on my problem, is appreciated.

When I print "sane-find-scanner -p" in the console, I get this:
[root] # sane-find-scanner -p found possible Mustek parallel port scanner at "parport0"
So, "sane-find-scanner" detects my scanner...
But when I print "SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1 scanimage -L", I get this:
[root] # SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of mustek_pp to 1.
I am waiting !!! Here it freezes, nothing happends ....
Maybe the usage of "strace" helps to find out whats going on.
strace -o /tmp/scan.txt SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1 scanimage -L less /tmp/scan.txt
