You may need to create a file called avision.conf which contains the address of the scanner that sane-find-scanner reports eg I have canon.conf that has its contents as b1t2l0 I then start a scan with: scanimage.exe -d canon:b1t2l0 >image.pnm In your case it would be: scanimage.exe -d avision:xxxxxx > image.pnm Rgds, Paul.

I have not tried a command line. I've been trying TAME/2. Just tried the command line. scanner started but got a TRAP 000d "exception in device driver: scsimgr$" Do you want the details? There is a Umax scanner at work that's just collecting dust. I think it's 300S or something like that. I might try that out when I get back from holidays in a couple of weeks.

Nah not really :) What version of aspirout are you using - I'm using the latest beta from Paul Ratcliffe's website - http://home.clara dot net/orac/os2.htm#aspirout >There is a Umax scanner at work that's just collecting dust. I think it's 300S or >something like that. I might try that out when I get back from holidays in a couple of >weeks. From memory Umax should work..

Does W2k have a complementary driver so I can network the 2? Alternatively a USB port solution would be even better.

You probably have to specify the CONF file name AND the physical location in the scanner.exe command line. I know this sounds like it's duplicated but it usually works where other methods dont. Good luck, it sounds like you're nearly there ! Cheers/2 Ed. Gavin Miller wrote: > Paul, > > Moved a step closer in the right direction.

You may be able to use a dos based software package though if you have of course the correct cross-over (aka laplink) parrallel port cable. I don't think you can get cross-over USB leads. Wouldn't a cross over ethernet cable be the simplest method ?
