 I have no practical experience with this scanner, but the

Yes, it is supported by the Avision backend

[sane-devel] unsupported device info correction

2006-10-02 Thread Martin Owens

 Did you check if the gt68xx backend has any support?

 http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/

 The GT-6816 chip is supported by the gt68xx backend
 --

I can't wait for my dohickey hal project to finally provide the
information required to the gt68xx backend to facilitate automatic
device operation. having those firmware files on hand will help a lot
too.

I'm lazy and I don't want to configure my hardware, nor should anyone else.


[sane-devel] Question regarding sane libusb

2006-10-02 Thread René Kjellerup

Hi everyone,

The documentation on this seems to be purely reference
for programmers who have used them before...

How do one read/write to a usb device (scanner)?
Will it return data on invalid commands, and where?
And so on...

Could I see a general piece of code that I could use
as a template?

Best wishes

[sane-devel] sane and the samsung software for laser printer ml-2250

2006-10-02 Thread joachim.bac...@rhrk.uni-kl.de
Hi,

the installation of the SAMsung printer software for
the printer ml-2250 (FILE: 20060711101742437_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz
from the SAMSUNG website) disables the usage of the USB scanner CANON
LIDE 30 by non root users

I'am running fc5, and before installing this SAMSUNG printer driver I
could scan as normal user without problem. But after installing
0060711101742437_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz, scanning was no more possible:

xsane

insmod: can't read
'/lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/drivers/mfpportctrl/mfpport.ko': No such
file or directory

Starting xsane/scanimage as root was possible on the other hand.

After uninstalling the driver, I could again start xsane without
problems as normal user.

The problem is Kernel independent: running the Vanilla kernel 2.6.18 and
FC5 kernel both produce the same error results.

Subject: [sane-devel] Avision 'bug' with kodak i40
Message-ID: pine.lnx.4.61.0610021602190.25...@limos.pfeiffer.edu

in order to get the kodak i40 (clone of av-220?) working with the avision 
backend, i had to extend the TUR/INQ timeouts in the function 
avision_cmd() from 1500 to 2000. otherwise, the scanner gets hung in 
wait_ready(), eventually timing out after 10*30 sec.

my system is A64 4000+, 1gig, FC4 64, with a very short usb cable, so 
maybe i outrun the scanner a bit :) current sane cvs, btw.

rene?

depends on the device. some will just lock hard and require a power cycle.
your best bet is to get it installed on windows with its native driver, 
and then use benoit's sniffusb to get a log of some simple operations. you 
will likely want to clean up those logs for readability, there are quite a 
few progs for that running around. i personally like 'spike4.pl' :)


 Could I see a general piece of code that I could use
 as a template?

generally you want to write a small libusb prog that is outside of sane 
first. there are a couple examples that come with libusb. let us know some 
more about the device, and we can give better pointers...

In the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
try commenting out the Samsung driver: smfp
which Samsung's Unified Linux Driver appends to this file.

I had this same problem. scanimage -L  worked but xsane no longer did,
because xsane loads the drivers in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and 
Samsung does not provide smtp, although it does create device nodes
for its multi function printer.
