Error when reading from Fujitsu fi-5120c

i am sorry you are having problems. linux has a learning
curve 
sometimes, and the fujitsu sane backend has JUST been
completely 
re-written to support your scanner. if you wait a few months
for your 
distro of choice to include sane 1.0.18, i bet 3/4 of these
problems will 
go away.

nothing personal, but you obviously dont know much about
linux (the fact 
you reinstalled suse 3 times is a pretty good indication of
that), so when 
you then jump off the beaten path and start compiling your
own code, it is 
no wonder you cant make it work by yourself.

dont feel like you have to founder on alone, however. you
have only sent 
two previous mails to this list, and you got answers to the
questions you 
asked. the same can be true for the rest of the process.

1. the log below has no errors in it.
2. what program are you using to scan with?
3. what are the exact symptoms of the error?
4. if you unplug the usb cable and plug it back in, can you
scan?

I wish I could wait, but work has to go on and if I can't
get it done in
Linux then it's back to Windows.  I don't want to go back
to Windows.

Your are right I am a Linux newbie.  As far as jumping off
the beaten
path... well, what choice do I have.  Either I figure out
how to compile
the source and make my scanner work (or find an RPM) or I go
back to
Windows and wait.

If there are any other logs I can send let me know and I
will get them
to you all.

scanimage and xsane.  Both give the same error.

In xsane (not running as root) it says reading gray data,
stops at the
very beginning, then after a few seconds comes back with the
error
"Error during read: Error during device I/O".  I
have to turn the
scanner on and off to eject the pages (it draws in the next
page before
the error).

you scan?
No.

You guys have been real helpful and show a lot of patience. 
That's
probably the only real reason I've haven't given up yet. 
Although I
will learn a lot about Linux over time I'm sure I'm really
thinking that
Linux isn't really ready for my desktop use.  However, I'm
not giving up
yet.
