[sane-devel] Fujistu ADF scanner support?

Basically, for greyscale document archiving. I recently purchased a used HP 7400c and am not impressed. The ADF unit jams and does not orient paper correctly. Additionally, streaks appear in the scanned image. It works excellent in flatbed mode. -- so don't tell us it can't be done, putting down what you don't know. money isn't our god, integrity will free our souls - Max Cavalera
[sane-devel] About HP scanners
I recently sent a E-mail to HP's president Mark Hurd talking about the poor state of Linux support with HP products. I did not expect an answer to my mail was very surprised to get several e-mails 3 phone calls in return. It seems that HP is getting sensitive in regards to Linux support is willing to talk--The last conversation with a Senior member of tech support ( knowledgeable about Linux Distros) Robert G. McCoy Quality Case Manager HP Total Care Thank you for contacting HP Total Care. I have been assigned your case in regard to the ScanJet 4370. Per our discussion today, I will be broaching the subject of possible Linux drivers for HP scanners, in particular Ubuntu. As I indicated, I won't guarantee support but will definitely visit with the engineers on this. If you have any other questions, concerns or just wish to relay more information or requests in regard to this issue, don't hesitate to contact me. I would encourage everyone that is having trouble with a HP scanner to open a dialog with HP--it does seem that the time is ripe to make some changes!!!

That is surely good news, however in my recent quest to acquire a scanner (HP, of course :-) I was dissapointed by the absence of any reference to Linux support for any of the products on HP's product site. While so charged with dissapointment and feeling a compulsion to censure I emailed a complaint using the customer support form (URL below) which failed permanently. http://wwemail.support.hp.com/fd2/email_form.cfm?countrycode=uslangcode=ensni=fd2-presales I don't know where you got your contact info from but I am quite glad you are able to have a voice in this important matter.

[sane-devel] Acard AEC6712S (atp870u.ko) and HP 6100C C2520A (sg.ko) problems

Well done Dean! Could you share the contact info you have, or perhaps an even better idea would be to refer Robert to this list to see all the different people who are struggling to make use of their HP Scanners. I for one have a 4070 that I am forced to keep a solitary windows machine around for. If their were Ubuntu drivers, I would be ecstatic. I had decided to write a backend for the 4070, so this is great news. Even if they (HP) would provide technical specs for the scanners, I'm sure there are many other people on this list who would create/update backends to fully support the HP scanners. Anyway, enough rambling, good job and many thanks to you! Tyrone Dean Loros wrote: I recently sent a E-mail to HP's president Mark Hurd talking about the poor state of Linux support with HP products.

There is already a backend for hp 3970 which works for 4070 too. Basically devices are the same and use the same chipset. The only difference I know is that 4070 has a bigger area to scan slides/negatives. Backend is functional but it's not finished because calibration proccess is not completed. According to 4370, it uses a different model of the same chipset. It seems to work mecanically and acustically but it gets a black image. It would be great if HP decides to provide neccesary information to complete this backend. https://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3900-series Jonathan Bravo Lopez

Thank you Tyrone-- I have forwarded the sane-list to Robert--I also asked if he would wish his contact info to be distributed to the list--I am hopeful that there MIGHT be a answer to scanner drivers from HP--I believe that with enough level-headed reasoning dialog we can make a difference---I would still recommend e-mailing Mark Hurd at HP--I think we could show that we are a growing segment of users that need to be supported.

No idea, what exactly is going wrong. This message comes from the atp870u driver; obviously something is broken at a very basic level. The cause can be the scanner, the SCSI host adapter, the atp870u driver -- or simply a bad SCSI cable or missing SCSI bus termination. If you have other devices connected to the same SCSI bus, they could be the cause of the problem too. If possible, try different cables and another SCSI adapter, or connect another SCSI device to the Acard adapter to get a better idea, where the error might come from. Abel
[sane-devel] Canon Lide 50/Plustek
Hi my scanner is a Canon Lide 50, I'm on OSX 10.4. Sscanimage is returning this ... device `plustek:libusb:005:003-04a9-220e-ff-00' is a Canon N1240U/LiDE30 USB flatbed scanner I've managed to get the scanner to work but it doesn't grab the whole print area, I'm after A4 and it's returning scans that are a little smaller, maybe it's defaulting to letter size or something. Just to get me going and pointed in the right area, is there anything that can be done, there was nothing obvious in the config or FAQ, I'm not sure what words I should be searching for or which docs to start on.

[sane-devel] HP Scanners
I have HPlip installed on my system--if only scanners were included in the supported devices. From what I see looking here, there seems to be a large number of scanners in the current offerings of HP's that only have partial function or none at all--hence I decided to tilt my lance at the windmill.

[sane-devel] grey 4bit/pixel
hi, iam searching a scanner that supports at about 300 dpi and 4 bit /pixel grey scanner. i found from the scanner that most of the scanner support 8/16 bit depth in grey mode. is there any way to modify this code to support 4 bit grey scale depth per pixel. all suggestions are welcome with regards Shashi Kumar
[sane-devel] HP Scanners
This is when things started to go south: from HP site: Hewlett-Packard Digital Imaging recently decided to eliminate the Software Developer Support Program managed by Sykes in Greeley, Colorado, effective August 1, 2001. The program managed external requests to Hewlett-Packard for both Windows and non-Windows based development (such as UNIX (R), OS2, DOS, and Linux). They had a perfectly logical system which dated back to at least 1986 called SCL. After 2001 they limited the use of SCL to Multi-Function Peripherals. It's not just HP, none of the scanners I've seen for sale in stores in the last couple of years had any linux support. Even the CCD signal processor chip has no data sheet available.. at least in the case of the HP 5200C. It's not the fact that there are no linux drivers that bothers me, it's the fact that the manufacturer doesn't _currently_ give out programming documention for their devices. Having said that a couple of folks from DSPP did help me on some of the older devices. Going out and buying a scanner without checking the net first is like getting shot out of a cannon and not checking to see if there's a safety net. Check first, or spend countless hours trying to reverse engineer or beg for programming specs. I wrote a letter to Hurd's predecessor years ago and nothing happened.
