[sane-devel] SANE2 commitment
Alessandro Zummo wrote: Hello developers, since there seems to be interest in developing sane2, I've decided to start this thread in order to collect the commitment of each developer. I'm willing to port the epson driver to sane2, help porting the coolscan driver and handle the command line frontend. I think Giuseppe Sacco has showed interest to do coolscan bits. A friend of mine, Stefano Merlo, has committed himself to the canon driver. I'd appreciate if everyone who is interested can reply with their own commitments for the 2007.. ehm.. sane2 :) Firstly, kudos to Alessandro for starting a new attempt to get Sane2 going. Let's make sure that we don't get again an ugly exchange of arguments like we had, ummm, seven (?) years ago, which eventually froze the first attempt of a new version of Sane. Unfortunately, I can't make at present an honest commitment for contributions to Sane2 in the next year -- it is quite unclear how much time I will have. If I find time, I will work on the Sharp backend, on the sanei_scsi library (well, mostly it's Linux part... I don't know enough about the other platforms supported by Sane) and a Python library for Sane. I agree with Martin and Etienne that device detection and desktop integration should be improved, but I also think that we should keep support for operating systems that don't have any HAL support. My problem is that I don't know anything about HAL implementation in Linux or elsewhere -- can anybody give me a pointer to an introduction? Abel
[sane-devel] Problem with networkscanning
Hi, I'm using microtek Scanmaker 4800. Scanning direct from the pc the scanner is connectet with is noproblem. But when I try to scan over my network, the scan / preview strarts, but after a few seconds it stops, and xsane (also kooka) isn't useable any longer. My system: Server: SuSE 10.1 with all patches Kernel 2.6.16.21-0.25-default x86_64 kdebase3-3.5.5-125.1 sane-1.0.18-0.pm.2 xsane-0.99-14 Backend sm3840 Client: SuSE 10.1 with all patches Kernel 2.6.16.21-0.25-default i686 kdebase3-3.5.5-125.1 kdegraphics3-scan-3.5.5-30.4 xsane-0.99-14 sane-1.0.18-0.pm.2 backend sm3840 (if local) or net for saned Any ideas?

Message-ID: 33159.82.75.199.161.1166655958.squir...@webmail.elastic.nl Hi, I bought an Epson Perfection V700, it worked out of the box with Sane. However there are some issues to which I can't find an answer. The scanner should be capable of scanning at 4800dpi and 6400dpi, the maximum resolution supported by sane is 3200dpi. scanimage reports: Options specific to device `epkowa:libusb:001:007' cut... --resolution 50..3200dpi [300] Sets the resolution of the scanned image cut... Is this a bug or is there a technical reason why this is the maximum resolution? Greets, Chris
