[sane-devel] Epson Perfection 3490, Mandriva 2006.

What does $ SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=50 iscan say? You can also try this with xsane or scanimage. If you don't have iscan installed, you can use this device also with the snapscan backend . In that case $ SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=50 scanimage I had, there was a super a-z guide for this scanner I cant find it :-( . Would you be refering to the user's guide that's downloadable from the same place as the iscan package(s)? http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html Does anyone have/know of a really good trouble shooting/ installation guide for this scanner.I'd like to be able to select the model in Mandriva 's GUI, how do I get it there?

[sane-devel] Re: CanoScan LiDE20 jamming with scanimage
Second update: I'm now running Knoppix LiveCD, and the scanner works just fine with SANE - scanimage, XSane, and xscanimage (which is absent from my main SANE installation) scan to the end without ever jamming. The scanner makes some strange noises which it doesn't in Windows, but it *works*. But since my main OS is FC5, and I (obviously) can't boot from Knoppix everytime, I absolutely have to get SANE to work on Fedora. Thanks in advance, -Fibo 2006/4/11, Fibonacci Prower fibonacci.pro...@gmail.com: 2006/4/11, Gerhard Jaeger gerh...@gjaeger.de: On Tuesday 11 April 2006 10:14, Fibonacci Prower wrote: Update: I tried with xsane, and... it still jams. And it hasn't yet jammed under Windows. -Fibo 2006/4/5, Fibonacci Prower fibonacci.pro...@gmail.com: Hello, First of all, I have no experience whatsoever with Linux, so I apologise in advance for any stupidity I might have made, or detail I might have omitted. That being said, I can proceed: I have just installed Fedora Core 5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp), and I'm trying to use the CanoScan LiDE20 scanner which, according to http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html, is completely supported by SANE. sane-find-scanner detects it, but it jams (with the lamps on) whenever I try to scanimage, and nothing short of unplugging it from the PC will stop it. I reboot to Windows XP (ahh, the magic of dual-boot), and it scans perfectly well, not jamming at all (which proves that the scanner is working fine). I then reboot to Linux, sane-find-scanner finds it again, and scanimage makes it jam again. Terminating scanimage gives only a Trying to stop scanner message, but the scanner does not stop until I unplug it. Trying to run scanimage again (with the scanner plugged back in, of course) results in scanimage: no SANE devices found, even though sane-find-scanner still sees it. What can I do about this problem? Thank you for your time, -Fibonacci Hi, again my questions: Which SANE version? 1.0.17, apparently. Which XSANE settings to scan? Ehm... the default settings? I didn't touch anything. Preview scan? Yes. 150DPI scan? Haven't yet learnt how to do that. And please don't answer directly to me, use the mailing list.

[sane-devel] Live preview while scanning possible? (lide 60)
Hi, On 2006-04-18 08:51, Yuri Pozzi wrote: is possible to view the image creating while scanning on the lide 60 driver? I've used Vuescan and does it, it would be very useful for my needs. The preview itself is continuously updated (at least with the LiDe 50, which I just tested). As far as i know no SANE frontend does the same when doing a real scan. From the SANE api, this is possible as the scanned data is continuously read by the frontend. So it's just that nobody has implemented that feature yet. Another question, if I do BW scans on sane they don't have much depth instead on Vuescan they have much more greys, is this fixed in the last version of sane? I guess this is about gray mode (not lineart)? With the Lide 50 it looks like this for me (xsane, no gamma/brightness/contrast corrections): http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/tmp/gray.png I.e. the darkest four blacks look the same. However, I have no comparison how Windows or Vuescan does this. Bye, Henning
[sane-devel] usb_set_interface and usb_claim_interface
Hi, On 2006-04-17 09:07, Tamkang wrote: Does anyone know why the position of usb_set_interface before usb_claim_interface, get return -1 ? As far as I know there is no libusb function called usb_set_interface. If you refer to usb_set_altinterface, you really must claim the interface before. Using an alternative interface is just a different way of using the same interface so it is blocked by the access. because I am trying to developing driver sm3880 for sane-backend, and I got this I/O Device Error, but I got fixed after, I reverse the usb_claim_interface is on behind, after usb_set_interface function got return 0, any one know why? I highly recommend to use the SANEI wrapper functions in sanei/sanei_usb.c for SANE backends instead of using libusb directly. At least with normal USB devices this makes life a little bit easier for you (and us, because it reduces porting issues). So you write a backend for the Microtek Scanmaker 3880? This scanner is not yet in our list. Could you give more details, e.g. the output of sane-find-scanner -v -v and if the scanner uses the same chipset as the 3800 or some other scanner. Bye, Henning

[sane-devel] Added USB vendor and product ids to all backends, PLEASE CHECK!
Hi everybody, I just committed the last batch of .desc files to CVS. All USB backend .desc files which are included in sane-backends now contain USB vendor and product ids. Some ids are still missing, I'll psot a list later. Backend maintainers: Please check if everything is correct. As I don't know most of the devices, I had to guess the ids from the man pages, config files, web sites and the code itsself. These files were changed today: avision.desc (regenerated with modified version of avision-desc.sh) epson.desc fujitsu.desc hp.desc plustek.desc (also some splitted entries and changed one comment) u12.desc umax.desc Bye, Henning

Hello, I'm writing a small client application and use saned. The tests of the client use then pnm-backend. There seems to be a bug in this backend. If I open the first device pnm:0 it's ok. I can read all options of this device. Then I try to open pnm:1. The reply state is device busy - also ok for me. If I now reread the options of pnm:0 there is a error (see subject line). I can get some options, but always the next get-request after option 2 (filename) fails. Maybe the reason is that option 2 is the only String-option.

[sane-devel] Hotplug and udev files created automatically now, please test!
Hi everybody, In SANE CVS the creation of the files libsane.usermap, libsane.db and libsane.rules is now done automatically from the backends' description files. libsane.usermap is used by Linux hotplug (tools/hotplug/) libsane.db is used by Linux hotplug-ng (tools/hotplug-ng/) libsane.rules is used by Linux udev (tools/udev) All three files are mainly used to set permissions on the USB device files (e.g. /proc/bus/usb/001/002). The files contain the USb vendor and product ids of all devices supported by SANE (and some more unsupported ones). They are created automatically from the backends' description files using the tool sane-desc. sane-desc is also used to generate our scanner lists on the web site. Therefore, now the lists are in sync and USB ids have to be added only in one place when a new scanner is reported. I can only test hotplug-ng at the moment. This works for me. Please test if hotplug and udev work with the new files. Bye, henning

[sane-devel] Wanted: SnoopyPro and SniiffUSB Informations
Hello, In order to find the sane backend settings for my new Canon LiDE 500F scanner, I runn it on an Company Notebook with Microsoft Windows XP profesional installed (next to Linux). I tried to get logfiles with different settings from my scanner. But the results with SnoopyPro Version 0.22 and SniiffUSB was not helpfully at all. The SniiffUSB was not working, this means it shows me all of the USB devices, but dit not produce any logfile about the USB trafic. SnoopyPro creates only logfiles, when the scanner device was either reseted from this program, or disconnected and reconnected from the USB bus. It logs then alway 546 packets and stop logging. The problem is, to find a usable explanation for this program. The only on I found is verry short and don't give any hints about trouble shooting. Can any one help with an usefull description? Gruss Martin -- Microsoft makes the easy stuff easy, and the rest impossible. Unix makes everything possible, but nothing too easy.
