[sane-devel] Canon MP710/740 support request
Hello, I'm about ready to try and use USB snooping under windows to get information abut my MP710 (740 is same except adds fax capability). Nicholas, sinceyou so kindly offered to add the IDs for the MP470, could you add the following to your driver as well so I can try it out? found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon Inc.], product=0x264d [MP710]) at libusb:004:003 Many thanks in advance, Gernot Hassenpflug Tokyo, Japan

Hi, MP710 which is similar to MP740, look to be from the same generation as MP730 ? It could be worth trying to use current MP730 Sane driver on your MP710, and see how it goes ? In that case, I can easily produce a test driver version for MP710 to use MP730 driver, that you could try.

Could you try the following Pixma package. Download it from sendspace.com at the following link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ogro4h http://www.sendspace.com/file/ogro4h And use instructions given on this blog to install and test it: http://mp610.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-sane-scanner-driver-for-canon-mp610.html http://mp610.blogspot.com/ Gernot Hassenpflug-4 wrote: It could be worth trying to use current MP730 Sane driver on your MP710, and see how it goes ? OK. Give me a day or so. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Canon-MP710-740-support-request-tp15392016p15396148.html Sent from the SANE - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Whew, I had just downloaded the sourceforge package... And use instructions given on this blog to install and test it: http://mp610.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-sane-scanner-driver-for-canon-mp610.html http://mp610.blogspot.com/ Done! (I had already read this page and others on your blog, and have it permanently open in a browser tab. I am amazed by your work here, thank you so much.) ~/Desktop/mp150-0.14.2-1u$ ./scan -x 10 -y 15 -w 51 -h 25 -1 -d 20 -W pixmascan.pnm [lots of stuff snipped, MP710 says on front panel scan mode] ... [pixma-0.14.2] pixma_read_image():completed 100% done (33744 bytes written) [pixma-0.14.2] pixma_close(): Canon MultiPASS MP710 So now I look at the image. Amazing, there is something there, a bit grainy, but it certainly does work! Tick off another victory for your [and the oirignal author's] driver and linux! :-) Now I need to check what quality I can get with the options. Some questions: 1. resolution: -r number in the options. What is the suggestion when the scanner does 1200x2400dpi? Is it possible to specify x and y resolutions, or must I choose the lowest of the two. At the moment the highest resolution I can scan at is apparently 300 (by adding -r 600 to the test as follows): ./scan -x 10 -y 15 -w 51 -h 25 -1 -d 20 -r 300 -W pixmascan_r300.pnm If I choose 600 it runs for quite a long time giving screen output but finally cancels with a hardware error. And for 1200 the cancellation happens quite quickly after starting with screen output. I hope that information is useful, since I do not know how well the driver performs on other scanners and with other OSes. Now I will try to integrate the driver into xsane, and also see how it does with scanning larger areas up to A4. Best regards, Gernot

Good news, using xsane I could scan an L-size photo and an A4 page in full colour at 300dpi. anything above that works for a short while before being cancelled by the hardware. Is is acceptable to post/email the output file for small scan areas in the hope that this is a simple timing/buffer problem or something? Regards, Gernot

Ok, great! In order to debug the 600 and 1200 dpi, I will need the traces produces by the driver in debug mode. For that: - Recompile the driver with debug information: $ make distclean $ make - Set the Sane debug variable to full debug mode , and run xsane from the same console, to get the debug infos: $ export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=10 ; xsane - Then scan with xsane at 600 dpi, you should get lots traces in the console of what's going on. - Put all this stuff in a text file, zip it, you can send it directly by email to me (without sending to mailing list), I'll check that. Then, I propose to send you some different files that will include additional debug code, in order to better understand what's going on Rgds, Nicolas Le dimanche 10 f?vrier 2008 ? 23:37 +0900, Gernot Hassenpflug a ?crit : On Feb 10, 2008 11:24 PM, Gernot Hassenpflug aikishugyo at gmail.com wrote: Now I will try to integrate the driver into xsane, and also see how it does with scanning larger areas up to A4.
