Re: [sane-devel] xsane 0.999
Use "Get Preview", and xsane places a rectangular frame around what it thinks is the relevant portion in the preview image. The user can drag the sides of this frame to what he prefers. "Scan" then captures just the area defined by this frame. Every subsequent scan will use this frame, until the user changes it. Otherwise, use a separate tool to manipulate images after they have been scanned. I find the ImageMagick "convert" command useful if I have multiple images I wish to crop (or otherwise edit) in the same way. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Re: [sane-devel] A Cooperation Message from Plustek Inc.
>Isn't requiring anything beyond the point 1 a teensy bit over-reaching? Regarding binary stuff, no. If some blob of firmware must be delivered to the scanner, this firmware must be made available under terms that allow it to be copied and used by anyone who wishes to have SANE operate with a Plustek scanner. I believe Plustek can retain intellectual property rights in this data. Many Linux distributions will refuse to distribute binary-only code to run on the user's computer (a proprietary device driver) because it conflicts with their own license terms. There are two answers to the question "Who will prepare SANE code to support Plustek scanners?" Yes, Plustek could simply publish code and say anyone who wants to adapt it for the SANE environment is welcome to do so. Certainly some people will look at it, and, if they think it reasonable, may do this. Assume this occurs, and many Plustek scanners are well supported by SANE. What happens when Plustek builds a new scanner? Who will want to go through new Plustek code and do this again, when they have other things to do? A better alternative is to have Plustek adapt their code to SANE. Surely those with good knowledge of the SANE environment will answer questions and offer advice on SANE best practices. It is likely that Plustek already has a software build process to create both Windows and Mac OS products. This could be enhanced to support SANE as a third target. Mac OS has substantial POSEX support, and Windows is moving in this direction - it might not require much. The great advantage here is that when Plustek develops code for their new products, it happens in an environment where SANE is a supported target. This should make SANE support for a new Plustek scanner almost automatic. Whatever happens, plus marks for Plustek to consider this. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Re: [sane-devel] Ubuntu 16.04.1 and Canoscan Lide 220
Your udev rules file has no entry for your scanner. Recall that
sane-find-scanner reported:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x190f [CanoScan])
There should be a udev rule for that device (i.e. one that matches the
vendor and product codes reported by sane-find-scanner). For example:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="190f", MODE="0666"
In order to use the scanner, a program needs both read and write
access. The udev rule phrase:
MODE="0666"
gives this access to all users. This is appropriate for a single-user
system, and perhaps for one shared by a cooperating group of users.
I hope this helps. All you may expect from this is to make the device
useable without root or some other elevated privilege. Whether the SANE
programs will yield good results is another question, one I cannot
answer because I have no Canon scanner. This post:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2015-March/033178.html
suggests the current sane-backends (1.0.25) will support this scanner,
and the device is listed as supported in:

This looks like a permission problem: the user who executed
sane-find-scanner is not allowed to access the scanner device.
A "quick and dirty" test to verify this is to run sane-find-scanner as
root. For example:
sudo sane-find-scanner
The udev mechanism controls permissions assigned to devices - use "man
udev" to learn more. For my Epson scanner, I use the configuration file
that follows (change vendor and product codes to match your scanner; lines
that begin with # are comments):
# File: /etc/udev/rules.d/10.local.rules
# Local (RWR) rules for udev.

Re: [sane-devel] Need sane docs
I doubt a gigabit Ethernet connection will make any significant difference. Data rate from your scanner is dependent on the mechanical speed of the sensor and scan resolution. If you scan a page 8.5 by 11 inches at 600 pixels per inch resolution with 24 bits per pixel, there is about 100 megabytes of data. With a 100-megabit Ethernet connection, that is about 10 seconds transmission time. If your scanner requires 10 seconds for mechanical movement at that resolution, the Ethernet connection should not limit scan speed. At 1200 pixel per inch resolution, there would be four times as much data (400 Mbytes.) This would need roughly 40 seconds to transfer using a 100-megabit Ethernet connection, but your scanner likely moves more slowly at that resolution. If you can scan faster than 40 seconds with a USB connection at that resolution, then gigabit Ethernet might help. Do you have any reason to believe your machine even supports gigabit Ethernet? Most do not. Eight seconds instead of two seconds to start a scan sounds like some sort of time-out situation. The tcpdump command could provide some details about timing of the Ethernet traffic, though interpretation of the data might be a challenge. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Re: [sane-devel] Need sane docs
"Timed wait" is the final stage when a TCP connection is closed. TCP has the notion of "maximum segment lifetime" - how long a datagram might remain somewhere in the network. Before a connection is completely closed, it remains in the "timed wait" state for twice this maximum segment lifetime. The purpose is to allow any left-over or duplicate datagrams related to this connection to be delivered, so that they cannot be confused with data from new connections. If you repeat the netstat command enough time later, you should not see any remnant of the connection in the "timed wait" state. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org

what can be reason for the NET device not to be found Probably it does not yet exist when scandb starts. Even when startup scripts are initiated in the proper order, the actual dependency may be that a network script finishes (or something started by a network script finishes) before scanbd starts. If scanbd cannot find a device it needs, perhaps it should wait a bit and try again.

[sane-devel] HP Scanjet N6350
Apologies if this is O.T. Like a complete idiot I just went out and bought one of these used, having read an incorrect review that mentioned Mac compatibility... So I have been trying to figure out the best way to get this thing working in a Mac environment. I would like to use the networking on it, stupidly I assumed that the scanner would have a CIFS client embedded and so I could use Samba to create a CIFS share and then point the N6350 to it as the destination of a scan... Put the page in, hit scan and a pdf appears on the server. Has anyone got something similar working, I was thinking worst case scenario I could bring up an XP host inside ESX, install the HP software and go from there but I would really like to avoid that. Thanks for looking. Cheers Richard
[sane-devel] genesys:libusb:.... changes while scanning (sane)
Summary: you have four USB scanners; plug them in, and SANE can access any one of them successfully, but then cannot access any of the three other scanners. If you unplug one scanner, then plug it in again, can SANE then use that scanner? This action should re-create the device's data structures and thereby clear any status left by earlier activity. If the re-plugged scanner works, this suggests SANE changes the state of the scanners it did not use in some way that interferes with later use.

[sane-devel] MyPen driver
Hi Allan, thanks for the script. Yes, the spaces got lost when I initially didn't have a better means of copying the logs from the virtual machine than pasting into wordpress. Now, I can scp, so the logs are better now. I scanned a vertical line as well as a horizontal line and a reference number from a payment slip. At first sight, it looks easy. With the vertical line I see sudden changes from 0xff to 0x00. With the horizontal line I see some 0x00 in the middle of the 0xff's. And the payment slip looks a bit more random, but with 0xff's at the top and bottom. But I couldn't figure out the parameters needed to restore an image so far. I created a simple application where I can manipulate the parameters and get images for the three logs. But so far, the resulting images didn't resemble to the scanned content. It's all at: https://github.com/ulrichard/mypen/ So far I assumed 8bit grayscale, and tried to interpret the bulk reads as a single scanline as well as a series of two dimensional images. What did I forget to try? I disassembled the device and saw a chip : mpf sst 39vf010 90-4c-wh That's a flash memory, so probably no the interesting part. The bigger chip is virtually unreadable. A picture is at: http://gallery.ulrichard.ch/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=7083g2_imageViewsIndex=1 And as for the next step. I read somewhere that it's easier to write a siple userland program that communicates with a new scaner before creating a sane backend. Does that involve direct usage of libusb? Are there existing examples that I could use as a starting point?

[sane-devel] R: Re: R: Re: scanner Epson DX4250 not working in Ubuntu 11.10
Now it is guess work why the device is temporarily unavailable when trying to reset it, but replies just fine to the status query to comes immediately after. Timing issue? Perhaps the two bytes written to the device start some action that has not completed before the read request is tried, therefore the Resource temporarily unavailable status. If the read operation is retried, it might succeed. If there are other devices on the same bus, activity that involves one of those devices may be an issue, though I should think this would be handled in the kernel and usually not directly visible to the application.
[sane-devel] R: Re: R: Re: R: Re: scanner Epson DX4250 not working in Ubuntu 11.10
Would this explain why the backend works the first time it is called from within a shell, and then stops working until a new shell is opened (as I described earlier)? No... unless the first (successful) operation leaves some data behind (environment variable?) that causes the second (failed) operation to act differently. Perhaps the device type or other data is remembered, and the original device identification or initialization process is not repeated. This difference could explain why the second operation fails, but a new shell works. This is only speculation based on the behavior you report, not knowledge based on familiarity with the device. If you perform one scan successfully, then unplug and reconnect the scanner, will another scan in the same shell work? If it does work, maybe there is something left behind in the USB system that explains the failure. If the second scan fails after the device is reconnected, something different in user space is more likely.

You have every right to reserve comment, of course. Among other possibilities, you may simply seek to avoid a cascade of posts about the perceived advantages or problems of different software platforms. It is possible your discretion on this topic might start a cult among list readers that tries to infer your operating system preferences from clues it claims to find in your posts.

It is not a pointer type, which can be dereferenced by the * operator. What is needed for the first argument of htole32a is a pointer P that can be used in a statement like: *P = 2; The statement: unsigned char * bp=b[0]; is well-defined: the variable bp is assigned a value which is the address of the unsigned char b[0]. bp is an actual variable, therefore it is an lvalue and an acceptable first argument to ntole32a. A statement such as: *b[0] = 2; is invalid according to the C language grammar (even if you, a human, can say you know what it should mean). That is why the compiler complains when it parses: htole32a(b[0], value); but the compiler is happy with the correct: htole32a(bp, value); because that expands into: *bp = value;

[sane-devel] HP F2280 MFP stopped scanning - help please!
Hi guys I posted this about a fortnight ago but have not had any response. Can anyone help? My F2280 was working happily both in printing and scanning until some time in March. I suspect a routine Synaptic Update made an unhelpful change, although I do not use the scanner often enough to be sure of the timing, but from about that time the scanner function has gone missing. Printing has not been affected. xsane (v0.995) says there is no device available. hpcheck -t yields the log below, which I'm told points to an issue with sane rather than xsane, and before the log I have pasted the output from find-scanner and scanimage (run as me, not root). I can't find F2280 in the list of supported scanners, but it was working before March!! Can you help me get it working fully again, please? I don't usually poke around the guts of Ubuntu, so please don't assume much technical knowledge. Thanks Richard == find-scanner and scanimage output == richard at richard-desktop:~$ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner.

[sane-devel] scanimage 1.0.20 hangs on Solaris 10/SPARC (pixma backend)
...scanimage just hangs forever when I try to use it to scan. scanimage will also hang forever when run with the --help option, after printing out the help text. It's as if it's trying to print the scanner name but ran into trouble. strace is likely to provide some information about why (or, at least, where) the program hangs. If you want more information about libusb and threads, this may be interesting: http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/mtasync.html The LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable can be used to enable message logging at run-time, as an alternative to explicit use of libusb_set_debug() during program execution.
[sane-devel] flatbed scanner recommendation
I have a bunch of old documents that are on old facsimile paper and can therefore not be scanned by our avision document scanner -- unless they are first photocopied. Instead of buying a photocopier. I was considering just buying an inexpensive flatbed scanner and was wondering if someone could recommend one. I've look at the list but nothing really jumped out as what I might be looking for. Thanks, Richard
[sane-devel] As instructed by /etc/udev/rules.d/libsane.rules
Udev rules are never likely to be a stable interface. Hardware devices and connection mechanisms change over time, therefore new and different information will be produced; the events recognized and reported may change as the kernel's structure evolves; additional function in the applications that interpret udev rules in response to events may demand different udev semantics. Your suggestion to have a user-oriented application that manipulates udev rules is sensible, though the same factors that force changes in udev semantics will likely mean this application also changes, albeit in a more controlled way from the perspective of the user. There are lots of examples where this sort of application has been written for other facilities. One example: the init scripts in /etc/rc.d were messy to manipulate, so chkconfig was written to allow one to see and change a service's configuration without the need to manipulate a raft of symlinks in half a dozen directories. ntsysv was written to provide an interactive alternative to the command-line chkconfig program. Some distributions have even fancier, graphical userfaces, such as system-config-services in Fedora. I think SANE is not the right place to develop a udev rules-manipulation application. SANE may assist some other effort with scanner specifics, but we recognize that udev rules is a complicated business: an applicaiton to create and manipulate these rules will be a serious piece of work, will need to address the needs of diverse sets of users and devices, and will require some organization to maintain it as udev changes below and user needs change above it. It is surprising that such an application has not already been written. Maybe it has, and I simply have not heard of it. Perhaps some have tried, but failed because udev information and requirements changed faster than they could adapt their code.
[sane-devel] As instructed by /etc/udev/rules.d/libsane.rules
The syscall interface is how applications request kernel services. It is not a general mechanism for the kernel to start userspace applications. HAL and udev are mechanisms intended to give the kernel a flexible way to invoke userspace applications when events such as hardware device connection occur. They certainly are less than perfect, but they are a lot better than a new kernel module for every device in the world. As I understand it, HAL and udev use syscalls to tell the kernel I'm listening; tell me when something of interest happens and then try to be helpful when notified of events. This is a sensible strategy, but we still have much to learn about how to use it most effectively. I was not aware of the global label glitch for udev rules, but it seems a good example of where improvement is needed. The hardware target moves rapidly (device manufacturers seem obsessed with a need to make esoteric, incompatible products - SANE authors may have unsurpassed experience with this) and until it stops, no scheme is likely to be completely satisfactory. More general message passing schemes (like D-bus) may offer more sophisticated event-handling frameworks that supplant (or augment) udev and HAL in the future. Clearly, we are short of any consensus about best practice in this area.
[sane-devel] HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one
Thanks for your reply Simon; I added hpaio initially, which brought the same result, and then took it out because I found a forum link that said it was not necessary/could create a problem with the newer version of HPLIP (I'm running 2.8.6b). In response to your email I put it in again with the same result. HPLIP is running, and working properly I think, but I'm not sure what to say about hp* daemons. Do they get activated at boot time, or are they called called when needed? RBW
[sane-devel] HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one
I may be trying to saddle a dead horse here, but it would be nice to get the scanner to work with this printer. Using Debian Lenny, and trying to install an HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one I have had success using Sane with a couple of stand-alone HP scanners (3300C and 2200C), so the basic Sane utility is installed and should be functioning properly. HPLIP installs the software, and it will print properly. scanimage -L returns no SANE devices found sane-find-scanner locates the unit: found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x2d11 [OfficeJet 6100 Series]) at libusb:002:007 Trying to scan with Xsane and gscan2pdf return No devices available and the HPLIP scan utility gives an error message: Failed to open device 'hpaio:/usb/Officejet_6100_Series?serial=MY31UC23S12R': Invalid argument. will not work, with the HPLIP giving a error I added hpoj to the dll.conf, and rebooted with the printer attached, without any change in the messages. Internet searches haven't brought any solutions, so I am hoping someone on the list will have some suggestions. Thanks in advance... Richard
[sane-devel] Scanned image prints on 4 pages?
Hi All, When I try to print a scanned document it prints out on 4 different pages (top right quadrant, top left quadrant, bottom left quadrant, and bottom right quadrant). This does not happen for other documents that I print. Can anyone tell me what the problem could be? I am using an Avision AV210 and the syntax: scanimage image This is on an Ubuntu machine.
[sane-devel] ExactImage Help?
Hello from Chicago, I am trying to install exactimage on an Ubuntu machine: $ uname -a Linux activesideofinfinity 2.6.28-3-rt #12-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Fri Apr 17 10:09:11 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux I was wondering if someone could advise me as I seem to be going round and round on dependency issues. When I run ./configure it says I need evas. When I try to install evas I get: checking for EINA... configure: error: Package requirements (eina-0) were not met: No package 'eina-0' found I then proceed to install e17 by installing all the packages that it requires and running the easy_e17.sh. However, then it craps out with: checking for EDBUS... configure: error: Package requirements ( dbus-1 = 0.62 ecore = 0.9.9 ) were not met: No package 'dbus-1' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EDBUS_CFLAGS and EDBUS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I went to the synaptic installer and installed every package that has dbus in it's name. Still no luck. I then tried to install e_dbus and get this: checking for EINA... configure: error: Package requirements (eina-0) were not met: No package 'eina-0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EINA_CFLAGS and EINA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I have been going round and round for a couple days now and could really use some help. If anyone can help me I along with my wife and kids would be very grateful. Thanks, Richard
[sane-devel] SANE frozen in amber ?
a frontend that asks for new, unsupported features, will simply get an appropriate error code. Allen Noah, earlier in this thread (Thu Jun 11 19:08:28 UTC 2009) alluded to the problem with this approach when he wrote: bah- then no front-end will use it, since it is not guaranteed to be there. A mandatory interface may return a status that indicates something is unknown or not applicable and its client uses this to proceed in an orderly way. In the case of an optional interface, a client will eschew use if any plausible alternative exists, in order to have a single logic path. The situation has potential to become exponentially complicated: two paths to handle optional feature 1 (available in this backend, or not); two additional paths for each of those cases to handle optional feature 2; two additional paths for each of the previous 4 to handle optional feature 3, ... The worst case is unlikely, but if scores of backends start to implement optional features, the result could be chaos. Certainly, there are places where indefinitely extensible interfaces have value. XML, ASN.1 are two examples that come immediately to mind. I believe SANE, like many other applications, will find it better to change its API in infrequent, discrete steps than to follow a continuous change is permitted strategy.
[sane-devel] ICC support - summing up
Even if you were to do this, the Oyranos backend still has to connect to the remote saned instance. If saned is running through inetd, this just cannot happen. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) uses passive mode to address this problem. A similar strategy could solve the inetd issue, but will not discount your arguments about how the presence of network link(s) can make a scan operation clumsy and ill-defined.

(in my case) was that factory scanner software launches daemons on

My way of dealing with it (and use SANE) - kill HP (or Epson)
daemons and anything twain ... and use SANE afterward.

Hello,
could you try the same test but with scanimage -L , with
sane usb debug
enabled by running :
SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=7 scanimage -L 2probe.log
And send debug logs (once compressed) either to the
mailing list or directly
to me if it's too big.
You may also try another USB cable or plug it in another
port if possible.

[sane-devel] Bug in backend/geniusvp2_parport.c
Hi, sane-devel In the subject source module, in function sane_geniusvp2_parport_open(), a test for PARPORT_MODE_EPP fails and as a result sane does not find my Genius ColorPage-Vivid Pro II scanner. When this test is commented out, and the function returns 0, my scanner works fine and I am very happy. I was helped greatly along this path by sadleder on the freenode irc channel #sane. I tried and failed to establish an account on https://alioth.debian.org/account/login.php (rbh00). My cookie mode is to manually set cookies for this session only, under firefox; it appeared that a cookie problem was inhibiting me from logging on; but the message did not say what cookie domain name was at issue, and I couldn't find anything appropriate in my cookies.

[sane-devel] scanmaker 4800 still trying...is this the right place to ask for help?
Hi, I am new on this list and new to debian and SANE. I have done the best I can to try and troubleshoot this scanner myself, but have not succeeded. I think the problem is with SANE, but I am not sure this is the appropriate place to ask for help. If it is not, please let me know if there is someplace I can ask for help with this. That said, here is the problem I am having: I am trying to get SANE to work with microtek scanmaker 4800. It opens the front end, whether xscanimage or xsane, but freezes upon trying to scan. Because it fails in both front ends, I am assuming the problem is either with the back end or communication with it. I read sane-problems-doc.html and followed the instructions as best I could. Here is what I've tried so far: uninstalled sane, xsane, and libsane, reinstalled. I did this because I installed the driver for scanmaker 4800 myself rather than through the package installer, so I guessed that uninstalling and reinstalling would write the correct files. I found out later that the driver, sm3840, is included in the distribution for sane or xsane so I did not need to install it seperately. Perhaps I need to do more to uninstall the file I installed, but I don't know if that is the case or how to tell. then I commented out all other scanners and net in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. The troubleshooting instructions say it should be in /usr/etc/sane.d/dll.conf, but I am assuming the different location is from how the debian package installer installs it. made sure only one version is installed removed config directories from home dir searched for g*-config...found neither gtk-config nor gimp-config ran gdb scanimage with following result: ...

However with many print spoolers and rasterizers (including printer firmware rasterizers) it also depends how the PostScript/PDf is generated as there several different methods to embed image raster data in those files and most spoolers and firmware handle them differently. If you expect this free and open source scanner related list to help you out you certainly need to drop some more details what printer you use and what you try to archive.

[sane-devel] sm3600 issues
I have some time today (Friday) if any one would be able to point me in the right direction on this issues I am having with this sm3600 backend in Fedora 6. I think it may be an issue with the USB (libusb?) but I am not sure how to follow up on it. I know enough to follow instructions and to possibly be dangerous with Linux...and I would like to get this scanner working so that I can start scanning in some old family photos. As old as it is it may be in the best interest of my sanity to upgrade to something with a little higher resolution (I write for a newspaper and occasionally need to scan something for publication) that is more easily integrated with the newer kernel...so I am entertaining suggestions for new scanner models. If someone has time they can email me directly: rbwe...@gmail.com Thanks Richard
[sane-devel] ScanMaker 3600
This is my first post to your list. Has there been any problems reported with the back end for the scanmaker 3600 in Fedora 6? The front end recognizes the scanner, and sends it a signal but the device doesn't actually do anything but make a clicking noise (it appears to be coming from the motor that drives the belt that moves the scanning mechanism). It is the same on two machines running FC6, and the scanner works under XP, BTW typing scanimage -L into a terminal returns the name of the scanner, and running the front end as root does not make a difference. I have also removed the SANE program and reinstalled it (from an RPM) with no effect on the response. Any help would really be appreciated as I have searched for troubleshooting tips with out success. rbwe...@gmail.com
[sane-devel] saned on win32 with HP backend - Mini-HowTo
Hi everyone, I'm aware, that SANE primarily centers around making Unix/Linux connected scanners to their work, but sometimes, there might be the need to make it work the other way round. I've an old HP Deskjet IIcx connected to a Windows box (because it's primary use is there) and I wanted to access it remotely from Linux. After some debugging the involved SANE executables under Win32/CygWin, I found out, that when the reader process in the HP backend was forked, the file descriptor for the scanner device was no longer valid (in the forked process). Later I discovered, that this has been diagnosed earlier already: details can be found at https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=301141group_id=30186atid=410366 After changing hp-handle.c in function reader_process according to sane-backends-1.0.15-BUG-alm.cygwin.tar.gz as described in the above link, it finally worked flawlessly. In order to keep it down to the least amount of files necessary, I copied the following files to a separate directory (C:\Programme\sane\saned) cygsane-1.dll (as generated by compiling SANE) cygsane-hp-1.dll(as generated by compiling SANE) cygwin1.dll (copied from CygWin) dll.conf(the configuration file for the DLL backend) enter (a file containing a CR/LF - needed for runsane.bat) hp.conf (the configuration file for the HP backend) runsane.bat (a simple and stupid deamon implementation - see below) saned.conf (the saned configuration file - contains the IP addresses of the clients allowed to connect) saned.exe (as generated by compiling SANE) In order to restart saned each time after a client (like e.g. XSANE) has used it, I wrapped it in a little batch loop: ---runsane.bat rem to run saned as a background service rem set thisdir=c:\Programme\sane\saned echo %thisdir% rem get rid of any possible trace info del sdtrace rem uncomment for more debugging info rem set SANE_DEBUG_HP=255 rem set SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=255 rem set SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 set SANE_CONFIG_DIR=%thisdir% :restart date enter sdtrace time enter sdtrace rescan sdtrace saned.exe -d128 sdtrace 21 echo restarting sdtrace goto restart ---end of runsane.bat Usually the scanner itself is not turned on, when that Windows box is booting, so I also included a call to the M$ SCSI bus rescan utility (found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308669) to make sure Windows knows the device before actually starting saned. Also I prefer to have a minimum level of tracing on all the time, hence I do some recording to a file called sdtrace. With this logic I first turn on the scanner, then connect to it from my linux system using e.g. xsane net:ip-address-of-the-win-box:hp The first connect fails (because the above batch utility is running saned already, before the scanner has been recognized). The second start of xsane successfully connects and utilizes the scanner perfectly. (a great THANK YOU to all you SANE developers !! ). Now the only remaining cosmetic step was to hide the window the above runsane.bat is running in from the desktop. I did this using the autoexnt utility following the steps at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243486 and using an autoexnt.bat that looks like: rem autoexnt.bat rem start the sane daemon-- cd \programme\sane\saned start cmd.exe /c runsane.bat Again - thanks to the SANE development community.

Thank you,
Solved, at least to my satisfaction.
hotplug script were apparently removed, as I suspected, in lieu of UDEV.
/etc/udev/rules/60-libsane.rules
contains a list of the various USB plotters Sane knows about. For my
scanner, the lines read:
#Canon Inc. | CanoScan N1240U/LIDE 30
SYSFS{idVendor}==04a9, SYSFS{idProduct}==220e, SYMLINK+=scanner-%k
By changing the second of the two lines to read:
SYSFS{idVendor}==04a9, SYSFS{idProduct}==220e,
SYMLINK+=scanner-%k, MODE=0666
I can successfully hotplug the scanner and use at as a normal user.
I understand that 0666 is a little wide open but without physical
access to the machine, no one is likely to be able to connect the
scanner anyway.
I tried limiting this by adding GROUP=scanner to the UDEV rule,
creating the group scanner and adding my account to that group but it
seems that unless I do a newgrp scanner to change my primary group, I
can't access it.
I'd be glad to learn the proper way to limit this further, or the
Gnu-Linux-proper way to use groups (they don't seem to be exactly as I'm
used to on Unix) if anyone wants to enlighten me.
The only lingering question in my mind is, is this as it should be?.
Shouldn't there be something in place to allow the general user to
simply plug in a supported scanner and use it without be root or
modifying the UDEV rules?
Thanks for listening.

If you start a new shell (or log out and in again) it will include
scanner in its groups.
You could set the perms to 0660.

IIRC the Debian package sets up a scanner group, and UDEV I think,
maybe you should raise it with the FC package maintainer (one would
hope they hang out here anyway).

You were right. I tried a new shell but I hadn't tried logging back
in. When I logged out and back in, the new group was recognized and the
scanner was available.
That means the entry in:
/etc/udev/rules/60-libsane.rules
is:
SYSFS{idVendor}==04a9, SYSFS{idProduct}==220e,

[sane-devel] Configuring a Mustek BearPaw 2400 Scanner
Hi Just got hold of a Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU Plus scanner for my own Debian Sarge workstation with a 2.6.8.1-14 Debian kernel. The scanner plugs in with USB. Seems to be detected and works. Output of 'scanimage -L' shows device `gt68xx:libusb:002:016' is a Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU Plus flatbed scanner Before I plugged it in I found the driver from the www.sane-project.org site. After grabbing the gt68xx driver I noticed that this was on the driver page... If you can only scan half of the page, use the PS2Dfw2.usb firmware and rename it to PS2Dfw.usb. What I can see as the output which is in PNG or PNM or TIFF format is that the scanned images are coming out stretched in the horizontal direction... [__] So that a square OpenBSD CD cover comes out as a horizontal rectangle. Also, only half an A4 page is being scanned which is also stretched in the horizontal direction. I've tried to rename the ps2dfw2.usb driver in the way that is described above. The scanner/driver just crashes and sits still. To test the scanner and driver I was using the following command line argument... scanimage --mode col/home/user/scanner/image.png Does anyone know how to fix these problems ? I don't want to return the scanner because it does work and does put out some useful images. Just that it's not quite right somewhere. Also, I've tried Xsane and Quiteinsane and neither of those applications will detect the scanner even though it is seen by the command line software. I think this might be something to do with permissions and the fact that only the root user has access to the scanner. I'm not quite sure how to fix that. Any help appreciated.

Hello great sane-team! first of all - thanks to all you developers for all the sane code and to Frank Zago for his Win-port. Frank is right in one of his statements: it may or may not work on Win95/98/me.. Well, meanwhile I know, that it doesn't work on Win 98 - because of missing support for opening files like \\.\Scsi0 and using subsequent DeviceIOCTL. So I started to recode the pieces, that I could identify for using the ASPI interface. After the first few iterations in changing sane-find-scanner.c and sanei_scsi.c I'm at a point, where sane-find-scanner works as well as scanimage -L. However the first attempts to actually scan something fail at a certain point I do set SANE_DEBUG_HP=255 scanimage a.pmn and capture a lengthy log, which shows several dozends of successful interactions with my old HPSJ IIcx until the point in time, where the scan should start -- extracts from the log -- [hp] start: No request to mirror image vertically [hp] start: 2550 pixels per line, 319 bytes per line, 4199 lines high [hp] sanei_hp_scl_startScan: Start scan [hp] scsi_flush: writing 5 bytes: [hp] 0x 1B 2A 66 30 53 .*f0S [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: searching h2b0t2l0 [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: check h2b0t2l0 [hp] hp_handle_startReader: parent closes write end of pipe [hp] start_reader: reader process 16391851 started [hp] scsi_close: closing fd 1 [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: searching h2b0t2l0 [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: check h2b0t2l0 [hp] hp_IsOpenFd: 1 not open [hp] scsi_close: really closed [hp] hp_RemoveOpenFd: 1 not removed [hp] sane_start will finish with Success [hp] sane_get_parameters called [hp] sane_get_parameters will finish with Success [hp] sane_read called [hp] sanei_hp_handle_read: trying to read 32768 bytes [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: searching h2b0t2l0 [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: check h2b0t2l0 [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: searching h2b0t2l0 [hp] sanei_hp_device_info_get: check h2b0t2l0 [hp] do_read: Start reading data from scanner [hp] do_read: entering request to read 32768 bytes I guess it looks ok until here, but the next line might indicate that something went wrong.

You might want to ignore the lines, that deal with fd (the file descriptor handling) - I'm not using a file descriptor really. I use a hard coded fd=1 so that the fd_info array is used as it should, but I've not had the time/nerves yet to clean up the related error messages. If one of you thinks it's worth to persue this old-fashioned environment (I'm using Linux since quite some time and dislike Wintendo, but for several reasons it has to be Win98 in this case here) I'd appreciate any kind of insight into the backend's higher level structure and/or pointers where to stick my nose in :-)) Thanks a lot in advance.

[sane-devel] OT: Document scanner recomendations - advice sought
I have been using the Fujitsu M3091DC for about 2.5 years. I would like to upgrade to a scanner higher quality faster document scanner, preferrably one that can handle odd sized pages ( smaller than 8.5 by 11 ) and would not require that I darken a document by fotocopying it first. Above all the most important think is compatbility with SANE. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Richard = A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. -Dwight D.

Of course being hers .. it's plugged right in her USB port and she's fond of it.To get printing from my comp to her's was a breeze.. but id like to use her scanner which is way more accurate than mine :) Now.. i dont know of a way to do this.Not sure it can be done either but im asking all the same. Is there somewhere a how-to for this ? Can this be done at all using SANE/XSANE ? Thanks for the comments Ric __ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

[sane-devel] problem with Nikon Coolscan II
I have a Coolscan II connected to an Advansys ABP940U SCSI card. I haven't owned this scanner from new and I've never seen it working correctly. So I've no idea what's the source of the following weird problem. When I scan, using the coolscan backend, some lines of the scan are offset by 1 pixel from the previous line; about 60% of lines, seemingly at random, are affected, so after 24 lines I'm typically 14 or 15 pixels across. After 62208 bytes (24 lines of grayscale or 8 of color), the next line is back at the original position (62208 bytes is the amount of information returned by the scanner from a single SCSI read). This produces a jagged effect; http://guests.deus.net/~rp/sample.png shows the top corner of a scan, showing the effect I've described at the edge between a slide mount and a very light slide on a grayscale scan. In color, I also notice that each line is only one color. http://guests.deus.net/~rp/sample2.png - a picture is worth a thousand words. That's from part of the middle of an image. So my questions are: - is this scanner functioning properly but being driven wrongly, malfunctioning but usable, or a paperweight? - if the scanner is OK, what is my best route to getting proper scans from it? I'm happy to do some C programming, so I'd need to know what's the best way to get specs and whether I should be working on the coolscan or coolscan2 backends. If there's any more information I can provide or tests I can carry out to diagnose this problem, please let me know and I'll do so. sane-backends 1.0.13, Red Hat Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.18-3 .

Thanks Henning :) I did just that, took the snapshot and compiled. the backend suggested works just great. Once i worked out a compile error i got on my machine fujitsu backends would not compile. so i deleted the reference in the backend Makefile and it then compiled.

[sane-devel] Updating sane-backends
I am in desperate need of advice from people more knowledgable than I (which means most, if not all, of you) about the workings of Linux. I was advised by several people (Henning Meir-Geinitz and Gerhart Jaeger in particular) that most of my problems with the UMAX scanner using the Plustek backend would be resolved if I upgraded my sane-backends from version 1.0.8 to version 1.0.11. I much appreciate the advice. So I downloaded the sane-backends -1.0.11 tar file and attempted to install it. When I ran ./configure, I got the following warning: *** WARNING: SANE is already installed (version 1.0.8). The old *** installation is at /usr while SANE will now be installed *** at /usr/local. It is recommended to uninstall the old SANE version *** before installing the new one to avoid problems. So I tried to uninstall the old version with rpm -e sane-backends-1.0.8 and got the following response: error: Failed dependencies: libsane.so.1 is needed by (installed) sane-frontends-1.0.8-4 libsane.so.1 is needed by (installed) xsane-0.84-8 libsane.so.1 is needed by (installed) xsane-gimp-0.84-8 sane-backends = 1.0.8 is needed by (installed) sane-frontends-1.0.8-4 (libsane.so.1 is a link to libsane.so.1.0.8, which is in the same directory) In other words (or so it would appear), I can't install the new files until I uninstall the old ones, and I can't uninstall the old ones because of the dependencies. Can someone please offer a suggestion? I would prefer not to have to uninstall and reinstall sane-frontends, xsane and gimp in order to update the backends files. Or better yet, is there a way to upgrade the Plustek driver, without disturbing anything else? Oh, BTW, I am running Red Hat Linux 2.4.18-14 on an Intel Pentium III with a UMAX Astra 3400 scanner connected to the USB port. Thanks for the help, Rich Teitel
[sane-devel] Updating sane-backends
Henning Meier-Geinitz wrote: T. Ribbrock emga...@gmx.net wrote in the last therad you initiated that he has made RPMs for Redhat. That would be more clean than to install from .tar.gz Perhaps I misread T. Ribbrocks message. I thought he said he had rpms for sane-backends-1.0.9, but not yet for 1.0.11. My impression was that 1.0.11 would solve the problems but 1.0.9 might not. So I opted for the tar version. you could . . . overwrite the files of your distribution. That's done by running configure in sane-backends with the arguments --prefix=/usr --sysconfigdir=/etc. Check configure --help for the meaning. That's extremely useful information that never occured to me. I will check the configure --help files and figure out how to install the new files on top of the old ones. I will also uninstall the old files by forcing rpm to ignore the dependencies. Thanks for the suggestions. And for your patience with one who knows so little. Rich Teitel
[sane-devel] UMAX scanner problems
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --020702080905020006050206 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Developers, First, let me apologize in advance for the length of this message. I am trying to solve several problems, which I believe to be related. I am running Red Hat Linux 8.0 on a 700 MHZ Pentium III using a UMAX Astra 3400 flatbed scanner connected to the USB port. Red Hat came with sane-backends-1.0.8, which includes the sane-plustek.5.gz package (I'm not sure which release this is). According to the documentation I've read, these are the most recent releases and should work with the UMAX scanner. Indeed, the scanner is detected using modprobe (thanks to Henning), and I am able to run the scanner from either the XSANE front-end (version 0.84) or GIMP, using the Plustek backend. I have successfully copied and faxed BW images. But all is not well :-( First, the Preview function does not work. When I run Preview, the scanner makes an odd clicking noise as it scans and does not produce an image. I am able to use the Preview function to set the scan area, but that's all. Second, the Lamp Off After Scan function does not work. I set it for several different time intervals (from 5 to 30 seconds), but the lamp never turned off. It does turn off when I close SANE, after I edited the Plustek driver to do so. Also, the front panel Power Saver button does not turn off the lamp (according to the UMAX tech rep, the button sends a command to the software to turn the lamp off). I suspect this problem leads to other problems having to do with overheating of the CCD sensor, since the quality of the first image is better than succeeding images. Third, the quality of color images scanned from photographs is terrible. I have attached a copy of a color image scanned from a photograph. The brightness, contrast and color of the photo are good. The scanned images appear to be overexposed and bloom badly. My initial thought was that the color saturation was way too high. The problem gets worse as the scanner heats up (since the lamp doesn't shut off), and I have been unable to correct the brightness, contrast, or color settings enough to make the images look good. I tried adjusting the brightness and contrast of the scanner using the SANE backend, and the quality improved some, but not much. I have not tried scanning from the command line. As a final note, I used to run this scanner under Win98SE using Vistascan and Photodeluxe and everything worked well, so I know the scanner works correctly. I would very much appreciate any help you can offer. I am not a developer, but have enough computer experience to do some trouble-shooting and file editing.

Halftone does not work with the 3091 because the driver doesn't
implement it.
Lineart returns black white images (1bit/pixel). If the image is
inverted you might try to set the RIF (reverse image format) option.
In file fujitsu.c function setWindowParam you can find the following
line:
if (s-model == MODEL_3092)
{
set_WD_rif (buffer, SANE_TRUE);
}
else
{
set_WD_rif (buffer, s-reverse);
}
You can try the same for MODEL_3091.

[sane-devel] scaning non standard sized pages?
When I scan a page with my fujitsu 3091DC that is smaller than 8.5 x 11 using scanimage, the document will not print and if I try to fax it using hylafax I get an error message: Warning, bugus StripByteCounts. Does anyone know how to fix this? Richard
[sane-devel] 610p protocol Info.. My first cut.
Ok... I've spent the better part of wed night with the 610p, the logic analyser and SoftICE and VistaScan from the UMAX webpage. This looks like this may be a tricky RE job as I haven't found the magic. Pieces of the puzzle that make everything make sense. Here's what I've learned: First in order to get valid data under VistaScan I have to have my parallel port set to _either_ SPP or ECP+EPP. Strictly EPP does _not_ work. If set to EPP the scanner performs all scan functions but the data that shows up in the preview windows is scrambled. Perhaps its using the compression feature built into the ECP? Dunno how it works in SPP mode though. Attempting to start out simple I tried to log the IO from a simple application called powersave which just turn on and off the scanner light. This app works regardless of what mode the parallel port is in. My thought was that I would set up the LA to trigger on the various transfer modes and find the one that matches. I ran into the problem though that the data I see on the logic analyser dosen't seem to match any of the timeing diagrams I have for any of the modes. At least not for any of the modes listed in Jan Axelson's Parallel Port Complete. I can't seem to figure out the exact clocking scheme that will let me grab the data on the wire. Of course it could have just been that it was 3am... So I began useing SoftICE to try and get a better understanding of what it was doing. SoftICE isn't the greatest thing for logging port IO. It (at least my version) won't let me breakpoint on a rage of IO so I have to specifically choose a port address to watch for. The powersave app though appears to have 2 subroutines that do all the IO so I was able to break on thier addresses and extract the port address and data from each transfer. But its really tedious. And I think that since I breakpoint on every IO attempt that the transfer is timeing out causing it to repeat as the code appeared to get stuck in a loop that would drop out after 10 attempts. I quit about that time. See the end of the message for the listing. So I got some data but by the time I was done it was really late and I have not had a chance to study it. Hopefully somebody can make some sense of this and give me a boost. I think my next step is to set up a windows NT machine and use portmon from sysinternals to grab the IO. Portmon's webpage claims to be able to log all parallel IO under NT. Vistascan is listed to run under NT. On w98 portmon dosen't see any parallel activity I'm guessing because the app is doing direct reads and writes rather than calling an api call. Heres the log: Key: - means write to port. - means input from port. side text describes what the next instructions did with the input data at least up until it jumped away. Program boots.. Then it does lots of IO's to various parallel port base IO addresses... You don't have to set the IO base in the app anywhere so this must be how it finds the scanner. My base address is 0x378. All number are in hex. 40 - 378 06 - 37a 3f - 379 Mask with 78 look for 38 07 - 37a 3f - 379 Mask 78 look for f8 04 - 37a ff - 379 Mask f8 look for f8 05 - 379 c5 - 37a Mask 0f look for 05 04 - 37a cf - 379 Look for bit 5 to be 0 c4 - 37a Mask 5f assign result to V1. V1 = 44 V1 (44) - 37a 55 - 37c cf - 379 Look for bit 5 to be 0 c4 - 37a Mask with 5f assign to V2 V2 = 44 V2 (44) - 37a aa - 37c c4 - 37a OR with a0 assign to V3 V3=e4 V3 (e4) - 37a cf - 379 Look for bit 3 to be 0 The last test fails and it looks like it will attempt to try this 10 times before jumping ou t of the loop. Thats it for now... I'll try to get the NT logs this weekend. -- Richard A. Smith Bitworks, Inc. rsm...@bitworks.com 479.846.5777 x104 Sr. Design Engineerhttp://www.bitworks.com

[sane-devel] HP 6300C USB Bad Noises
Appologies for a newbie asking questions before lurking for long, but I have looked back though the arch-hives with no luck on this. HP 6300C connected by USB using Kernel 2.4.17 and Sane 1.0.7. Scanner works fine under Windows. Scanimage (and xscanimage) finds the scanner, starts the scan, after just a few scanlines the scan stops, the lamp returns to home but the stepper motor continues to run causing loud clicking noises. (After this it STILL works under windows) I tried Sane 1.0.5 some time ago and had this problem, but no time to fix it. Any ideas most welcome. Info below.

[sane-devel] AGFA Snapscan 1236s possible conflict
I have just moved my scanner over to a new box and now scanimage -L reports no Sane devices. System is a Dell poweredge 300 running an 800 mhz Intel coppermine and Mandrake 8.1 Scanner is AGFA Snapscan 1236s SCSI card is Adaptec AVA1505 The card and scanner are known to work just fine in an old DELL MMX 200 under Mandrake 8.0 Only other piece of hardware that the scanner hasn't worked with before seems to be a Lite On ATAPI CD burner. Guessing it may be a conflict I have searched the web but not found anything that I understand on this. The following is what I have done so far. Now I am stuck for ideas can someone point me in the direction of other things I need to check. The following is the response I get from the system:- Just booting the system only finds the CD Modprobe throws errors that I don't understand but does seem to load the module even though it gives an error message. Checking SCSI now shows the scanner installed sane-find-scanner correctly identifies the scanner scanimage says no sane devices.

{
socket_type = stream
server = /usr/sbin/saned
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
disable = no
}
that's just a pert of that file but you get the idea ..
and even though i dont have inetd just in case i did
in /etc/inetd.conf
sane stream tcp nowait root.root /usr/sbin/saned saned
ouf ! : ) now GIMP still cant use the scanner.
Where have i gone wrong ?
I agree with the previous post there is a need for a simple 1,2,3 type
step by step instruction for these scanners.
I use mine in root mode for now cause i need to do this.
An easy way to do this ( that dosent need the user be a programmer )
is really needed.As Linux makes it's way in more and more desktops and
normal users are getting Linux on their systems,i am under the impression
that scanner documentation and software really needs be simplified to allow
normal (read non programmers) users to successfully use their equipment.

[sane-devel] xinetd.conf add this to documentation .
i found it ..and got it working .
there was a } in xinetd.conf missing at the end.
i modified it but i simply had not restarted xinetd.
all works.
But still a comment about xinetd
the modification i made to the file works.
I suggest this to be included in the documentation.
ex
Add to /etc/xinetd.conf the file following lines:
service sane
{
socket_type = stream
server = /usr/sbin/saned
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
disable = no
}
best regards
Richard

[sane-devel] saned to solve root issue ?
Well it's been a while since i wrote and yet i havent had any success using xsane as non root. Im no programmer but i gave it a good shot. It semed if i had understood well i had to set saned to run as root. but then two things pop to mind 1 - Ok first is easy it's how to set saned to run as root ( im an incompetent ..im still trying to figure how to make saned eun always as root ) 2 - Second once it's set how do i use the saned daemon ,how do i call it ? Keep in mind im no programmer but a simple folk trying to have his scanner work so i can scan the wife's family photos to put into her family tree.. PS as ROOT user i used GIMP and bingo ..it works beautifully but like Griz mentioned it would be way better to use both as non root. And Griz dont despair ..there is no actual device .it's a virtual device if i understood correctly , so we did not find any devices to chmod , there aint one.. : ) So if anyone can help clarify this both of us would greatly appreciate Thank you for your patience.

[sane-devel] Parallel as non root
Good evening I thought i had it made. Xsane recognised the scanner and i was in business..so i thought. In the archives there is a letter addressing just that. http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/2001-01/0195.html I changed owner and chmod the files as suggested. Then when i tested SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 xsane in non root mode i had a surprise. Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead. For further details, see: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html Refusing to initialize GTK+. Running xsane by itself also returns this unpleasant warning. So where do i go from now ? Is this fixed in the new sane 1.0.5 ? Will a new frontend fix this ? Sincere thanks Richard Hebert _ Do You Yahoo!?

[sane-devel] RH 7.0 sane and Mustek 600 III EP Plus
Reople at Red Hat asked me to contact you people on this issue RH 7's kudzu dosent detect the Mustek flatbed. Even though the mustek_pp.conf file is fixed to make use of the flatbed ( appropriate settings are given ) when i start xsane i still have the no device available warning and it shuts down. Since the documentation is a bit thin on the subject of scanner recognition setup ( or even the fact that i would/not need to have RH find the device ) i would like to have a bit of help to get it going . When i get it going ill write a simple Mustek 600 how-to so if anything like this hits someone else they will have a few good pointers. If anyone can help me set this up ill appreciate. : ) G'day Richard Hebert _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
[sane-devel] (no subject)
C/O Henning Meier-Geinitz Dear Sir There were 2 things wrong. First mustek_pp was commented out in the dll.conf file. Second item;the port on which it was looking for the scanner was wrong It was not attached to lp0, but to lp1. So the scanner works now. Many thanks for the precious help. I am happy as a canari whistling folk songs ! My offer still stands .If you need translation or redaction help ill be glad to oblige and participate. Sincerely your's. Richard Hebert _ Do You Yahoo!?
