wow. i am sorry philip, but that was one of the stupidest things i have ever seen on the web. what i had in mind was for you to get some website space, and put it up there. not for you to get an email account, and post the login info to the entire world. i cannot login to this account to change the password, hopefully some kind soul has already done so. or a black hat did, and your new account is currently sending spam til hotmail shuts it down. allan On 1/11/08, Philip Aston philip.aston at ntlworld.com wrote: Thanks Allan and Theodore I have posted the following: red.pnm green.pnm blue.pnm sample2.pnm (titles here self explanatory) Also the spec file from the manufacturer's disk- not much info but may be useful They man be found by signing into hotmail account sanephilipaston at hotmail.co.uk password artece+pro Hope that's the right way to do it!

Yes I agree it was REALLY stupid but the penny dropped (about the black hat and the spam or worse) immediately after that email, so I changed the password, before sending the retraction in (my next email), thats why no-one could access the account. When I logged back into it I was extremely fortunate there had been no activity! I fully accept that msn require us not to do this for a very good reason and I hope thats the last major senior moment I experience. The files are now on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/philip.aston/ and I apologise for that ridiculous mistake!

[sane-devel] backend for Plustek PL-812 // anyboady working on this - who can get me on speed

Hmm, made a mistake, almost all newer Plustek scanner have a GL843 inside and not the GL842. Gerhard

The files are now on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/philip.aston/ and I apologise for that ridiculous mistake! Philip, Indeed, this seemed like a very novel way to post data. So I decided that I should wait until the dust settles, which it now seems that it did. What I see in these images is, something like what I suspected could be a possibility, or it could be something else. It is difficult to tell without the actual raw data. I assume (without actually knowing) that there is a SANE option to capture the raw data and dump to a file, with no processing at all. Remarks: 1. I cannot get actively involved in this. I just saw something in what you posted in the first place which caught my eye and looked like a problem which I have seen before, several times. The images that you posted confirm that I may -- or may not -- have been correct in my suspicions. But I am not going to get involved right now in supporting scanners. Moreover, you are dealing with a SANE developer right now, and it is both my inclination and my duty not to get in between. That said: 2. Possible reasons for the problems, with examples: -- reversal of order with some rows (libgphoto2/camlibs/jl2005a) -- reversal of order with some columns (libgphoto2/camlibs/aox) -- reversal of column-pairs needed after decompression even though Bayer tiling is correct (libgphoto2/camlibs/sonix) -- other reasons of which I know nothing because I am not doing scanners, know nothing at all about the internals of this particular scanner driver, and do not have the source code for anything near a current version of SANE. 3. In order to work with something like this, one needs the raw output, preferably after decompression if the raw output from the scanner had to go through a decompression stage. If someone wants to send me this or post it, I will be glad to play with said raw data and see if the output can easily be tweaked to look right. 4. Recently, I posted one of my tools for fooling with raw output to the SVN tree of gphoto, at gphoto.svn.sourceforge.net, under trunk/playground/raw_converters. The program will do the following for photos from a camera with JL2005A chipset: -- convert the raw data for a photo, obtained with something like gphoto2 --get-all-raw-data into a PPM image file. -- display said image in an xterm window -- exit when the window is closed, and save the output file. This is for a specific camera's output, of course, but the program is at least semi-modular and it is fairly easy to adapt to other cameras (which I have done several times, for my own use). It should be fairly easy to adapt to handle raw output from a scanner, too. The only problem would be to have some way to put in the width and height of an image. The reason why I wrote this little program is that it makes it possible to process the same data repeatedly, while introducing small changes in the processing routine along the way in order to improve things. That way, one can be more assured of getting things right, in the end. If anyone would like to use it here, then welcome to it. If I could have the raw data _and_ the currently possible finished product, I could also see what I could get out of the raw data. I would be glad to do that, and I think I would have time to do that. If in fact the raw data from the scanner is compressed, I would of course need to be pointed at the decompression algorithm, which is to be found somewhere in the code for the scanner which is to be found somewhere in the SANE source tree.

If this scanner is really what the subject of your mail tells, then
try the backend available at:
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_a3p1-backend/
I think this backend supports it.
This backend, as is, is unsupported by the SANE project. It comes from
Mustek, but needs a complete, clean rewrite before it's integrated in
SANE.
If your device is a SQ113, check this page
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_usb2-backend/
the backend Julien mentioned supports the SQ11
Found out:
1) 0x055f 0x040b is recognized /etc/udev/rules.d/025_libsane.rules:
SYSFS{idVendor}==055f, SYSFS{idProduct}==040b, MODE=0664,
GROUP=scanner, ENV{libsane_matched}=yes
(libsane 1.0.19~cvs20071213-1 Debian Lenny) - but scanner not recognized by
scanimage -L
2) Sane supported scanners search engine:
BearPaw 6400 TA Pro USB
0x055f/0x040b
unsupported
Not supported. May be supported by mustek_usb2 backend later. See link for
some information.
Looks like mustek_usb2 backend is the right choice.
But, how I get this backend working? There is no /etc/sane.d/mustek_usb2.conf
Where I can find the offical addev formular?
Because this backend is experimental, and not already in SANE, you
will need to get the sane source code, add this backend's source code
to it, then configure, compile and install sane in place of the
package provided by your OS.

O.k., I see. But I think mustek_usb2 backend is already included in
the version my Debian testing (Lenny) is running:
$ man sane-mustek_usb2
NAME
sane-mustek_usb2 - SANE backend for SQ113 based USB flatbed scanners
sane-backends 1.0.18-cvs
I don't know how to get the backend in charge, scanimage -d
mustek_usb2:libusb:002:003
doesn't work out:
scanimage: open of device mustek_usb2:libusb:002:003 failed: Invalid argument
Do you know if it is possible any other way?
oh, my fault- its already in sane. but as the manpage says, it only
supports the Mustek BearPaw 2448 TA Pro. So unless this machine is
identical, you will have to do some hacking: for starters, this
backend has a hardcoded usb VID and PID, so you will have to rebuild
the backend from source to even try it.
1. download sane source
2. look in backend/mustek_usb2_asic.c for ProductID and VendorID, and
change those to match your machine.
3. configure
4. make
5. make install
If you need pointers on these, let us know. we cant be sure of your
experience level.
Unfortunately, even after all that, there is a good chance it wont work.
