Nikon Coolscan LS-40 ED Installation

[sdmilliken]

I have searched the internet, looking for a possible solution to getting my scanner up and running. I believe it is a problem with the coolscan3.conf set up. There errors I get are:

In the coolscan3.conf file, if the word "auto" is there and then xsane is run, I get the following error:

- Fail open device 'coolscan3:usb:libusb:006:002': invalid argument

If I place the line coolscan3:usb:libusb:006:002 in place of "auto", I get the following error:

- No Devices Available.

I have the following system:

Mepis 8 - 64 bit, 4-GB RAM, 2 -500 GB Hard drives.
Nikon LS-40 ED film scanner.

I have attached a copy of my coolscan3.conf file.

I there is anything I've missed and you require, let me know.

I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Thanks in advance,

Scott

ok, try this:

SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN3=255 scanimage 2>ls40.log >ls40.pnm

weird- it is attempting to initialize an option that is unknown.
Perhaps the author will respond with some ideas...
