@rzookol
I wanted to try this again on my old Mustek 1200 UB Plus. I went to s created gt68xx and placed the gt68.library alone with the firmware sbfw.usb. It is not binded to Poseidon (none)
I directed device to S:gt68xx/gt68xx.device and Scanner Driver to DEVS:/MorphOS/Devs/ahi.device. Unit was left blank
Before I scan the info displays not connected, when I scan, I get out of memory and info says scanner connected. If I press scan again, the program meditates. Am I missing something?

device to DEVS:/MorphOS/Devs/ahi.device
Scanner Driver: S:gt68xx/gt68xx.device

Made the switch, and got error opening S:gt68xx/gt68xx.device

ok, download
http://brain.umcs.lublin.pl/~rzookol/download/gt68xx.device

it has fixed opening communication device (but any string have be in Device) so in
Device: put foobar.device or os4.device :)

download:

http://brain.umcs.lublin.pl/~rzookol/download/gt68xx.conf

put in s:
and remove all lines except these (if You have Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus):

1) Don't have a foobar or os4.device... Where?

2) I also wasn't sure if the statements before ########## should stay

3) The scanner is a 1200 UB Plus, not the scanexpress I don't think.

4) Lastly gt68xx.conf goes into the folder or just s

Thanks...getting there.

1) Don't have a foobar or os4.device... Where?

it's a joke, put anything there like, blabla.device, vodka.device etc. :)

3) The scanner is a 1200 UB Plus, not the scanexpress I don't think.

i only see scanexpres 1200 UB Plus in sane homepage :)

4) Lastly gt68xx.conf goes into the folder or just s

just s:

2) I also wasn't sure if the statements before ########## should stay

they may stay but don't have to

In that case same result. error opening gt68xx.device

ok download
http://brain.umcs.lublin.pl/~rzookol/download/gt68xx.device_debug

put it somewhere and rename it to
gt68xx.device

try again with new device and send me debuglog from logtool/getramdebug

Quote:

sent to address on website minus_NOSPAM_.

ok, but You didn't add attachment :)

sorry gmail takes a yar + a day to scan uploads hope the log helps..it was long with many errors

Scandal + gt68xx drivers + USB works here ! :)
But I have some hits before and after scanning.
I had to modify gt68xx.conf file to overwrite Scanner name (Artec-Ultima-2000)
and overwrite firmware to use another firmware than ps1fw.usb.
Note that my scanner works with gt680xfw.usb and ePlus2k.usb firmware.
firmwares usualy can be found on vendor driver CDs...
In my case, I already had to do the same manipulations under linux with sane.
And I took installed firmware installed in wine...

@xyphoid

You sent me log from normal version (without debug) :)
Could You send me log from debug version

btw. in 1.3 beta there is Connect button in Prefs->Info tab, it should be safer to use. I added autoconnect tooltype to make connection during SCANdal start also. Tiff saver works but requires MorphOS 2.x. PDF saver works but have to be fixed (it requires hpdf.library (from aminet/owb/netsurf))

Beta 1.3:

@SixK

Good to hear that it works, Cou You send me log from debug version of gt68xx.device ?

Sent it sorry for the confusion

i get new log but it looks strange
are You perfectly sure that You are using
http://brain.umcs.lublin.pl/~rzookol/download/gt68xx.device_debug
renamed to gt68xx.device
filesize: 245000 bytes

yes I just checked again to make sure. I renamed it replaced the old file in s/gt68xx/gt68xx.device(debug)

and did you flush old version from memory or reboot ?

flushlib gt68xx.device

Quote:
ok rebooted use the last one i hit return too quickly and didn't change the attachment.

as we see in log:
attach: found Mustek flatbed scanner BearPaw 1200 CU at poseidon:1496:16386
....
gt68xx_device_activate: model "mustek-bearpaw-1200-cu"
download_firmware: trying s:gt68xx/PS1fw.usb

download_firmware: file `s:gt68xx/PS1fw.usb' not found
Couldn't open firmware file (`s:gt68xx/PS1fw.usb'): Undefined error: 0
somewhere: download_firmware_file (dev): Error

the driver think that You have BearPaw 1200 CU
so:
1) download this firmware and test http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/firmware/ps1fw.usb

or
2) refer to linux docs how to overwrite settings in gt68xx.conf :)

the new firmware allowed the scandal to connect, pressed scan, but the hour glass shows up, and after 2mins or so I get a pop up out of memory.

ok, it looks like that many scanner have the same product id and vendor id,
so use override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus" in conf file, it should help

conf that I'am using...

Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus:

out of mem pop up again ,I guess it's hanging due to one of these lines..

add # before Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus:

similar problem is described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/65824

and if it doesn't work, send me log

The out of memory pops up immediatly after pressing scan, log sent
