[sane-devel] Adding support for a new scanner (Epson V500)

The epkowa backend also does not support this model at the moment. There is talk about adding support for it through a /non-free/ binary only plugin, but there is no schedule yet. Hmm, so is this scanner not likely to end up with good free-software support? In general, I had the impression that Epson scanners were often pretty well supported, but it sounds like you're suggesting this model might be different. Let's be clear about this. It is unlikely to the extreme that this scanner will end up with any free-as-in-speech software support. However, it likely that this scanner will end up with gratis support on i386 architectures.

[sane-devel] Request for hpljm1005 backend merge into sane CVS
Couriousous couriousous at mandriva.org wrote: Hi, Can the sane HPLJM1005 backend be included in sane CVS ? It's very difficult for an non experimented user to compile an external backend. What should I do so it could be in a mergeable state ? The backend must: - work reliably - not break the hardware - pass a make libcheck with no warnings - have a manpage - have a description file - be released under the GPL + SANE exception - have an active maintainer - be portable to non-Linux platforms - not reimplement anything provided by sanei That's for a start. Looking into the archives for sane-devel you'll probably find a more complete checklist posted by Henning at some point :) JB. -- Julien BLACHE http://www.jblache.org jb at jblache.org GPG KeyID 0xF5D65169
[sane-devel] scanimage: sane_start: Scanner cover is open
Hi Lars, On 20.10.2007 20:31, Lars M?llendorf wrote: Hallo, since I updated from Kubuntu 6.06 to 7.10 running an SHARP JX330 SCSI flatbed scanner with scanimage produces this error: $ scanimage --device-name='sharp:/dev/sg0' --source='Flatbed'out.pnm scanimage: sane_start: Scanner cover is open Indeed the scanner cover is open, because I try to scan a book, but this used to be no problem. Do you have an ADF or a transparency unit installed? At least the ADF is probably able to detect if the cover is open. But you are right that an ADF status information should not affect flatbed scans. If I scan with xscanimage, it finally works with open cover if I scan with closed cover first. Here the output of SANE_DEBUG_XSCANIMAGE=4 xscanimage 2debug.log [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of xscanimage to 4. [xscanimage] main [xscanimage] xscanimage (version: 1.0.14, package: sane-frontends) starting [xscanimage] interface [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of xscanimage to 4. Could you please make similar tests with SANE_DEBUG_SHARP=255 ? Unfortunately this workaround doesn't work with gscan2pdf. I also tried to find a hardware workaround but I don't know how the scanner knows it is open. I thought there would be a little stylus or switch that has to be pressed, but the one I found doesn't work. I have no manual or technical information about the scanner. I have the technical docs for this scanner, but I am at present moving into a new flat and the docs are buried in some transport box :( So apologies in advance if can't fix your problem very quickly...

[sane-devel] CanoScan FS2720U
I am looking for a functioning Linux driver for the the CanoScan FS 2720U film scanner. I downloaded the development found at https://projects.cecs.pdx.edu/~kellyt/SANE-FS2720U/, compiled the driver per the provided instructions with no joy. Perhaps some one has been successful with Allan Noah's driver or knows of another development that works. Thanks in advance. G Bonitz -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
