[sane-devel] How to Copy to network printer

 The problem is more likely not the geometry option, but that Cups
 randomly scales pure image data to best fit.

There is nothing randomly.

See
http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sum.html#4_5_2
---
The scaling=percent value is a number from 1 to 800 specifying
the size in relation to the page (not the image.)
A scaling of 100 percent will fill the page as completely as the
image aspect ratio allows. A scaling of 200 percent will print
on up to 4 pages.

The ppi=value value is a number from 1 to 1200 specifying the
resolution of the image in pixels per inch.
An image that is 3000x2400 pixels will print 10x8 inches at 300
pixels per inch, for example. If the specified resolution makes
the image larger than the page, multiple pages will be printed
to satisfy the request.

By the way:
In CUPS 1.2 the Image Options are also supported. Unfortunately
they are not mentioned it the CUPS 1.2 documentation, see
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1846


Kind Regards

[sane-devel] epson cx7000f

2007-08-03 Thread Herbert Carl Meyer
Any advice on using the scanner in an Epson CX7000f on a fedora7? I have
the printer working with gutenprint, and sane-find-scanner sees it as:

(vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0831) at libusb:004:005

but scanimage -L can't find it.

I tried a quick hack of adding the line

usb 0x04b8 0x0831 

to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf, but it did not work. should I be in
plustek.conf, or tinkering with the udev rules, or try epkowa ?





[sane-devel] neatreceipts scanner

 Hi All,
 
 I am running FreeBSD 6.2 Stable on a T41 (Thinkpad).
 I have a Neatreceipts scanner.
 http://www.amazon.com/NeatReceipts-Scanalizer-Professional-Combination-Organization/dp/B000BBCKOC
 
 I am not sure if anyone has used this in FreeBSD or if it even has a 
 driver. I did not see it listed in SANE. But I am not sure if there is 
 another brand name for it besides Neatreceipts.
 
 Here is what I see when I plug it in then unplug it.
 ugen0: vendor 0x07b3 600dpi USB Scanner, rev 1.10/5.01, addr 2
 ugen0: at uhub1 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected
 All threads purged from ugen0.2
 All threads purged from ugen0.1
 All threads purged from ugen0
 ugen0: detached
 
 My understanding was if the driver was recognized it would show as 
 /dev/uscanner0.
 
 Here are the results of a SANE run:
 Gargoyle# sane-find-scanner -q
 found USB scanner (vendor=0x07b3, product=0x0412 [600dpi USB Scanner], 
 chip=GT-6816) at libusb:/dev/usb1:/dev/ugen0
 Gargoyle# scanimage -L
 device `gt68xx:libusb:/dev/usb1:/dev/ugen0' is a Plustek OpticSlim M12 
 flatbed scanner
 
 So it looks like the the Neatreceipts may be the same as the Plustek. 
 But I am not sure if I am reading that correctly.
 
 What would a good next step be?
 
 Sincerely,
 Brendhan
 

Try the gt68xx backend, the usb vendor and product id are the same as
the Plustek OpticSlim M12.

For the firmware file check the cdrom delivered with your scanner.
See also the http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ page

good luck

[sane-devel] pnm vs png

2007-08-03 Thread James Lockie
I just set up xsane and it defaults to saving in .pnm format.
Why do I want that format instead of .png?
