Hi all, im having a problem with my Lexmark all-in-one X1190, I am under the impression the scanner is supported by the Lexmark backend but when I try to scan anything firstly the scanner makes a lot of noise for around 30 seconds, then it seems to find home and scan. ; The problem is that once it has scanned I just get a lot of coloured stripes as the output? It looks as though the scanner is working, but the backend isn’t understanding what the scanner is sending to it.

Also if I run scanimage –T the scanner doesn̵7;t seen to do anything and the program just hangs, if I press ctrl-c to quit it responds with trying to stop scanner and then just hangs again, a second ctrl-c is required to exit, then a reboot to get any functionality from the scanner again.  Not sure if it helps but the printer works perfectly, in fact its better than it was under windows. I have included the output of scanimage –V if it helps, but I’m at a loss!

# scanimage -V

scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18; backend version 1.0.18

 

also, not sure if this helps either, but im running Debian Unstable and have installed sane-utils and sanelibs-dev from the Unstable repository. The machine is a 266Mhz ARM based NSLU2

 

 Thanks for any help you guys and gals can supply me with!
