[sane-devel] lexmark x1190 doing the funky chicken
Hi all, im having a problem with my Lexmark all-in-one X1190, I am under the impression the scanner is supported by the Lexmark backend but when I try to scan anything firstly the scanner makes a lot of noise for around 30 seconds, then it seems to find home and scan. The problem is that once it has scanned I just get a lot of coloured stripes as the output? It looks as though the scanner is working, but the backend isn't understanding what the scanner is sending to it. Also if I run scanimage -T the scanner doesn't seen to do anything and the program just hangs, if I press ctrl-c to quit it responds with trying to stop scanner and then just hangs again, a second ctrl-c is required to exit, then a reboot to get any functionality from the scanner again. Not sure if it helps but the printer works perfectly, in fact its better than it was under windows. I have included the output of scanimage -V if it helps, but I'm at a loss! # scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18; backend version 1.0.18 also, not sure if this helps either, but im running Debian Unstable and have installed sane-utils and sanelibs-dev from the Unstable repository. The machine is a 266Mhz ARM based NSLU2 as advised by a user a long time ago, i have installed ubuntu 6.10 on my i386 based pc and i have the exact same results. i am willing to send any log files or additional information you may need. also im not a programmer but i know my way around linux ok (please note ok) so i am willing to help in any way possible. im also competent with a screwdriver so if you need any extra hardware info i can supply this too. cheers for an help anyone can give me! bryn _ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.

[sane-devel] Lost support for my Canoscan N1220U
Sane Developers, For a long while, Xsane had simply worked automagically with my Canon N1220U scanner. Then, recently, I had a problem with my installed packages. Synaptic reported some broken packages, and in order to fix dependency problems, it un-installed and re-installed a majority of the applications I use. At the same time, it upgraded my kernel from 2.6.17 to 2.6.20. After that point, Xsane no longer detected my scanner. When I opened Sane, it used to show me a choice between my Canon scanner and my Hauppauge TV input card. After the problems I had with Synaptic, Xsane skipped the selection screen and opened up with just the Hauppauge video card selected. I figured I must have accidentally removed some necessary package, but after scouring the repositories for anything Sane related and installing them, my situation didn't improve. So then I figured I lost some settings. I searched the Sane documentation, and from this web page: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux ... I learned of a file called /etc/ld.so.conf. After a little experimentation, I discovered that having the following settings in that file has improved the situation: include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf /usr/local/lib Now, when I open Xsane, it gives me the choice between my Canon scanner and my Hauppauge video card. This is better, but unfortunately, when I try to preview or acquire a scan, Xsane freezes and eventually just dies. At this point I have run out ideas of my own for how to diagnose and solve this problem, so I am turning here for help. Can anyone help me identify why Xsane is no longer working as smoothly as it was before, and, more importantly, help me get it back to that status? Thank you for any help or advice. -- Dave M G Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft Kernel 2.6.20-5-generic Pentium D Dual Core Processor PHP 5, MySQL 5, Apache 2
[sane-devel] Problems with Canon Pixma MP500 on Buffalo Linkstation
Hello Thomas, On Thursday 15 March 2007 22:02, t.te...@gmx.de wrote: [...] I assume that INTR means interrupt, doesn't it? One possible explanation for the error is that the linkstation does not react to some device interrupt by the scanner. Yes, INTR stands for interrupt. Is this protocol for the Pixma different to other scanners? I know that some people seem to have sucessfully installed SANE on a linkstation... Yes, USB scanner protocols are very different and there is no standard USB scanner protocol, unfortunately. Anyway, it is still possible to get the pixma work without interrupt handling. Look at the function wait_until_ready() in backend/pixma_mp150.c. You'll see this code block: #if 0 /* If we use sanei_usb_*, we sometimes lose interrupts! So poll the * status here. */ error = query_status (s); if (error 0) return error; #endif If you replace #if 0 with #if 1, the driver will poll the scanner's status once every second. Keep looking in the debug message for hexdump like this: [pixma] OUT ?T=x.xxx len=16 [pixma] ?:f3 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 ?00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0c [pixma] [pixma] IN ? T=x.xxx len=20 [pixma] ?:06 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 ?01 00 00 00 03 00 02 00 [pixma] ?0010:00 21 00 d9 ^^ ready? When the scanner is ready, the value at offset 0x10 will be 01 instead of 00. Please also make sure that the USB port is running at high speed (480 Mbit/s). Regards -- Wittawat Yamwong Hannover, Germany
[sane-devel] lexmark x1190 doing the funky chicken
Hello, the current backend only handles early X1100 models. It is allready known that X1185 models can't work with it. I am currently working on an experimental version of the lexmark backend. Currently, it detects X1185 variants (and X1200 models) and is able to do 75 dpi color scans. What is still missing is tuning the color calibration and add other dpi and gray scans. You can test this work in progress with the source archive you can get at http://stef.dev.free.fr/sane/lexmark . You'll have to recompile it (just type make in the lexmar_testing/sane-backends-1.0.18 subdirectory). Then you can run the list.sh script to see if your scanner is detected, then the scan.sh which will try to do a color preview. This test will produce a scan.log and a scan.pnm files in lexmark_testing/sane-backends-1.0.18/backend Please send them to me so I can fix any bugs, and validate the latest changes (since I've no device to test). Regards, Stef

Is there a sample how to or any information regarding it? there is no built-in ability to scan on a workstation, and push the image to a remote system. I am plan to install the workstation with Linux OS and install SANE on it. This workstation with have a scanner attach to it. I will then scan an image from the workstation and direct it through the network with some SCANIMAGE's network option to a remote Server that running SANE and put that scanned image under /tmp/ directory. Is this possible? the remote system would have to run a listening daemon, which would do what with the incoming scan, since there is no user there requesting it? allan

I will then scan an image from the workstation and direct it through the network with some SCANIMAGE's network option to a remote Server that running SANE and put that scanned image under /tmp/ directory. Is this possible? In other words: you wan to run scanimage on the workstation; scanimage writes the scanned data into a file, and this file shall be located on the server. Yes, this is possible: you can create, read, write, modify and delete files on remote computers, provided that both machines are properly configured. If the server is also a Linux/Unix machine, use NFS (Network File System). Install the NFS server software on the server, configure the NFS server and mount a server volume on the workstation. A good start to see how to do this is Olaf Kirch's Linux Network Administrator Guide: http://tldp.org/LDP/nag/node140.html Abel PS: Your question is not strictly a Sane (or scanning in general) question, but a question about about file system access via a network; you may get more and better help on networked file system access in other places
[sane-devel] Epson Perfection V100 scanner

I installed the two plugins listed above. The scanner worked but locked up after almost every scan. Disconnecting the USB cable and reconnecting it cleared the problem for another scan. The problem, I believe, is some change in Etch. I had an Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner which worked perfectly until a month ago. Then it began to lock up in mid-scan. I contacted the maintainer of the Epson backend who told me that it could not be a backend problem as the scanner had no command to stop in mid-scan. I decided it must a udev problem and wrote the maintainer who replied it had to be a kernel bug. I thought that perhaps after many years of service the scanner itself was at fault so I purchased the V100 and found I had the same problem. I had not yet thrown out the Perfection 2400 so I connected it to a Windows XP box and found it worked perfectly on repeated scans. I have been living with the V100 problem hoping one day it will go away. The iscan software does have the advantage of prescan and selection of a smaller region for the final scan, a feature lacking with xsane and the Perfection 2400. On the negative side I must set the zoom to 85% as at 100% my printer breaks the output into four pages. The zoom setting is very touchy. Tom George If yes, then things should work out of the box.
