Thread: Problems installing Microtek scanner driver


i have mirotek scanmaker 3800. while it's not listed supported scanner, the notes refer scanner, 3840, uses same chipset , supported. so, tried follow directions installed: http://www.ziplabel.com/sm3840/ which, again, mentioned scanner might supported.

here's did:

  • i saved sm3840_patch2 , sm3840_source5.tar.gz ~/downloads/microtek/sm3840/
  • in terminal, pasted
    code:
    patch -p1 < sm3840_patch2
    it told me needed install "patch" did synaptic, , tried again.
  • i got following errors:

code:
patching file sane-backends-1.0.15/backend/dll.conf hunk #1 failed @ 46. 1 out of 1 hunk failed -- saving rejects file sane-backends-1.0.15/backend/dll.conf.rej patching file sane-backends-1.0.15/backend/makefile.in hunk #1 failed @ 150. hunk #2 failed @ 394. 2 out of 2 hunks failed -- saving rejects file sane-backends-1.0.15/backend/makefile.in.rej patching file sane-backends-1.0.15/configure hunk #1 failed @ 25618. 1 out of 1 hunk failed -- saving rejects file sane-backends-1.0.15/configure.rej patching file sane-backends-1.0.15/configure.in hunk #1 failed @ 299. 1 out of 1 hunk failed -- saving rejects file sane-backends-1.0.15/configure.in.rej patching file sane-backends-1.0.15/doc/makefile.in hunk #1 failed @ 52. hunk #2 failed @ 103. 2 out of 2 hunks failed -- saving rejects file sane-backends-1.0.15/doc/makefile.in.rej patching file sane-backends-1.0.15/doc/sane.man hunk #1 failed @ 376. hunk #2 failed @ 804. 2 out of 2 hunks failed -- saving rejects file sane-backends-1.0.15/doc/sane.man.rej
  • i tried again sudo, , got same errors.
  • not knowing whether continue in spite of errors, went ahead next step, , tar extracted successfully.
  • the last step, kept telling me there no such thing configure.

think key getting hardware , running. searching on forums, there 3 other times has tried install scanner, no 1 has found or tried this. tried contacting author earle f. philhower iii (earle@ziplabel.com), haven't received response yet.

can walk me through might doing wrong?
