Re: Image Mate

Dear All

Where I've come unstuck is telling Gphoto where the new port is to download images to my PC. The Image Mate plugs into the parallel port which I think is LPT1 ? What do I tell Gphoto to look for ? Is it /dev/ttyS1 ? When I tell it to download from LPT1 it says ... " Please check the permissions (see the manual). When I try to look at the manual Gphoto just peels off the screen.

I've mapped it to /dev/lp0 and then I've done 'chmod 0777 /dev/lp0'. Gphoto now finds that port. However, when I try to download the images I am asked to open a directory and /dev/lp0 isn't one of them. Anyone know how to get Gphoto to download from lp0 ? Thanks -- Richard
