I haven't tested it exhaustively yet, there are timing issues in general (grabbing the data too slowly or too quickly leads to badness and the need for resetting) and you have to edit the code to change the scan parameters, but it works for me in a few cases (colour/greyscale at 150 DPI). I'll do some more tweaking/testing, try to figure out some of the unknown bits in the protocol and the advanced stuff the Lexmark Windows app can do and make it a bit more robust with resetting the scanner to a good state in case of failure. To compile it with GCC you'll probably need to delete the first line, I've been using tcc to merge compile+run into just run. It needs libusb and libpng installed to compile/run and will write out lexmark_scanner.png to the current directory and a bunch of debugging output to stdout. Hopefully some SANE developer can help me turn it into a SANE backend. I'd also like to know if it is similar to any other scanners that are already supported and maybe an existing driver should be extended. I also wrote a short protocol document, not sure if that is useful to SANE developers or not though. Paul, I put some lexmark2 skeleton files on my homepage, see http://gkall.hobby.nl/dell-810.html My Dell is detected, but no time yet to put the right usb commands in. The Lexmark X2330 usb id are also added. -- m.vr.gr. Gerard Klaver

When this scanner will supported by sane ? this driver http://viceo.orconhosting.net.nz/ is for 2.4 kernel...but for the 2.6 ? Sorry for my bad english. Thank you in advance. bye

Hello, looks like: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2007-November/020199.html was the last attempt to get: http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/canon-lide-90.html to work. I have a disposable one to play with... Can anyone suggest a plan of attack for creating a backend for this? Thanks! - Don No, I try since month to get LiDE 90 to work. I posted a patch for genesys backend few weeks ago. It makes this scanner working under sane but there are calibration and clocking problems. I'll be happy if you can test and modifing it. Regards Guillaume

Guillaume, I got the attachment from http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2008-March/021440.html ( is that the newest version ? ) and I will try to reproduce your work.

[sane-devel] Visioneer Strobe XP100
?I am a new Linux user and found the following while researching my Visioneer RoadWarrior Scanner. You might find this interesting. Perhaps this scanner could be easily added to the sane-Plustek backend. http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/tjkopena/projects/xp100-scanner/ Visioneer XP 100 Scanner Drivers for Linux Joseph B. Kopena, Richard Primerano. The Visioneer XP100 is a cheap, sheet-fed, portable USB scanner based on an LM9833 chipset. In mid-2004 a task came up in our lab to develop Linux drivers for this scanner. A true driver was never finished, but the scanner was reverse engineered and a program written to control the scanner and receive images. This was done by dismantling a device, determining the component devices used (e.g. the stepper motors) and their specifications, and comparing USB logs sniffed on a Windows PC running the official driver against the LM9833 documentation. Extension to a true driver should be straightforward. This software is released here under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). An archive with source code is linked below, as well as a report describing that software and the findings of the reverse engineering effort.
