[sane-devel] Disable tiff
Hello, Is there any possibility to compile sane backends without tiff libraries? I've tried to disable that feature using --disable-tiff option in configure script but it doesn't work. Regards, JKD
[sane-devel] Scanmaker 4 i/o errors
So, I know this isn't on the supported page, but I've seen in quite a few places that people report success in using them with sane. Also, appologies if this is already answered in the mailing list archive, but it doesn't recognize phrase searches, and after about 30 pages of Scanmaker results that have nothing to do with the problem, or even this model of scanner, it seemed a rather large waste of time to continue looking. I have a Microtek Scanmake 4 rev. 01, it is picked up by sane, and it can go so far as to preview scan, but that is it. It goes up to: scsi_send_gamma: pos=0x808a360, size=8192, word=1, color=3 [microtek2] scsi_set_window: ms=0x8079220, wnd=1 [microtek2] scsi_read_image_info: ms=0x8079220 [microtek2] scsi_read_image_info: ppl=611, bpl=1836, lines=1007, remain=1848852 [microtek2] prepare_buffers: ms=0x0x8079220 [microtek2] calculate_sane_params: ms=0x8079220 [microtek2] scsi_wait_for_image: ms=0x8079220 [microtek2] scsi_read_image_status: ms=0x8079220 [microtek2] scsi_read_image_status: use old image status [microtek2] scsi_sense_handler: fd=3, sense=0xb768d060 arg=(nil) [microtek2] dump_area: SenseBuffer [microtek2] 0: f9000216 6000 `...

Ok, so, lamp failure, that sounds pretty self explanatory... but the preview still works, and the last time I used it in Windows (admittedly about a year ago) everything ran fine. Now, I'm not so much looking for someone else to solve my problem as much as informing me of a couple things. First, should the scanner still be capable of a preview scan if the lamp is failing? I've opened the thing up and everything *looks* to be working correctly (all the lights are still working). Second, will it damage the scanner in any way if I remove the failure check and force it to scan anyway, assuming the lamp actually is going out? Any help with this would be appreciated. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've opened the thing up and everything *looks* to be working correctly (all the lights are still working). Second, will it damage the scanner in any way if I remove the failure check and force it to scan anyway, assuming the lamp actually is going out? well, I'm not an expert for Microtek scanners or the microtec2 backend, but around line 3950 in microtec2.c the values of ms-fastscan and ms-quality are set depending on the value of the Sane option OPT_PREVIEW, and around line 4560 ms-fastscan and ms-quality are used to set some bits in the data of the SET WINDOW command. So it seems that these two parameters, or one of them, tell the scanner to be more picky regarding the light quality. Before starting a scan, most scanners calibrate the lamp and the CCD sensor, typically by moving the scan head to positions where they see a white and a black area, so that they can measure the CCD output for these colours. If this fails, because there are maybe too large deviations in the signal returned by the CCD over the scan width, or if the CCD signal for white is too low, the scanner's firmware may complain. So, if scan quality is not that important for you, you could try to constantly set ms-fastscan and/or
[sane-devel] Epson R640 issues with MS Publisher
Hiya! I was reading your web message regarding the patch you had found for a problem with an Epson printer. I wonder if you could possibly help me. I have an Epson R640 and do alot of basic design work in Microsoft Publisher. Every time I go to print out my work on glossy paper, the computer reverts to it's default settings (standard paper). I don't think it's the computer because i've had the printer plugged into other people's computer and the same problem arises. I've always used Epson printers but this is the first time I've encountered anything like this. It is extremely frustrating, and I'd appreciate ANY advice you can offer! thankyou (: Artbird _ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters

The hplip backend is not a part of sane-backends; it is maintained independently as a sourceforge project: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ . Since you obviously get an error message from that backend, you should tell the hplip backend maintainers about this bug. Abel

uhm- this is the mailing list for a group that develops scanner drivers for unix based machines. not printing, not MS windows. perhaps you should ask epson? allan On Fri, 11 Aug 2006, Bridget Ryder wrote: Hiya!
