[sane-devel] Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 Pro
I have the same scanner, and I am using it under Xsane-Ubuntu since 3 years. The developer Mustek it has a closed driver for linux: http://www.mustek.com.tw/apprg/countdriverdownloadtimes?LINK=ftp://ftp.mustek.com.tw/pub/driver/A3IIIU2/1200DPI/Linux/1LV1019/libsane_1.0.19-1_i386.debDRIVERFILEID=450 Unfortunately this is very old, so it is not compatible with the latest sane library. I tried before to ask any programmer to help integrate it in official libsane, bot without success. I even tried to ask the developer to help us write an open driver, but I got no answer from Mustek for it. On 32 bit linux it is also possible to copy the upper libsane_1.0.19-1_i386.deb package backend element in the configuration folder of xsane. On 64 bit there is no solution found by me. But I am interested, if exist one. I have just one single problem: after install it does not recognize the scanner, just in sudo mode. You must change the usb:001:011 folder privileges to let you free acces. I attached a screenshot with the scanning window of xsane with Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 Pro. So I am very interested about news on this theme. I wish this scanner to be recognized and usable automatically in linux!

Indeed it is not an easy undertaking and a new (cheaper) A3 scanner could be purchased for under ?100 so it's unlikely to warrant a massive move towards crowd funding although it was a good plan. I don't know of any sites to help crowdsource OSS, if this kind of thing were to be put on kickstarter I suspect the time would run out before achieving funding. -- Regards, Kevin McDonagh http://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinmcdonagh | CEO @ Novoda.com Tel: +44 (0) 7981 932 411 Tweet http://www.twitter.com/kevinmcdonagh Bookmarkshttp://pinboard.in/u:kevinmcdonagh/ Pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/appletv/ On 23 September 2012 16:37, m. allan noah kitno455 at gmail.com wrote: Writing a device driver without help from the manufacturer is a difficult, time consuming task.

btw, isn't sane-backends licensed under GPL? ?how can mustek provide a package without the source? Clearly, a vendor can ship a clean-room proprietary sane backend, as there are no restrictions on the implementation of the sane standard. However, this particular case is more of a gray area: 1. Sane's libraries have an exception to the GPL which allows linking with proprietary code, and is (IMHO) vaguely worded. 2. Mustek uses sanei_usb in their libaries. Under the 'GPL', they would be required to provide source for those libs, but the exception may allow that, depending on interpretation. (IMHO, it is still a violation, because the .so is not 'executable') 3. They ship scanimage, sane-find-scanner, conf files etc, which are covered only under the GPL, and do not provide source. This is a clear violation. 4. The exception mentioned in #1 states: This exception does not, however, invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License. There may yet be some other reason why Mustek is in violation, perhaps the shipping of proprietary and GPL code in the same media? All-in-all, a beautiful example of why programmers should never write legalese. :( allan -- The truth is an offense, but not a sin

thank you all so much for the assistance.
i did change the lines in mustek_usb2_asic.c around line 3520 to:
static unsigned short ProductID = 0x040b;
static unsigned short VendorID = 0x055f;
and i changed in mustek_usb2.c the x_range and y_range to this:
static SANE_Range x_range = {
SANE_FIX (0.0), /* minimum */
SANE_FIX (11.7 * MM_PER_INCH),/* maximum */

static SANE_Range y_range = {
SANE_FIX (0.0), /* minimum */
SANE_FIX (16.5 * MM_PER_INCH),/* maximum */
SANE_FIX (0.0)/* quantization */
};
finally, i just had to run ./configure --enable-pthread :P make and
sudo make install... indeed everything is already put into /usr/local
(the configure script told me it would too).
i re-plugged the USB cable and tried /usr/local/bin/sane-find-scanner

still 'sudo /usr/local/bin/scanimage -L' doesn't detect anything

In my opinion, you should try the mustek_usb2 backend. Regards Tam Thanks guys for taking a look, I really appreciate it. Tam, it looks like you were right about the chip: $ sudo sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x055f [Hewlett-Packard.], product=0x040b [USB2.0 Scanner], chip=SQ113) at libusb:001:013 $ export SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_USB2=255;scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of mustek_usb2 to 255.

If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). [mustek_usb2] sane_exit: start [mustek_usb2] sane_exit: exit Searching for [mustek_usb2] Asic_Open: no scanner found leads to some posts on the list in November 2008 titled Can't seem to find config files. It seems like there is no .conf file for the mustek_usb2 backend because it only supports one scanner. So the author went into the source code and tweaked the usb identifier data for his (slightly different) scanner, achieved partial success, and then disappeared. The mustek_usb2 driver supports the BearPaw 2448TA Pro scanner, with specs listed here: http://en.kioskea.net/guide/details/170414-mustek-bearpaw-2448ta-pro The ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 PRO scanner has a horizontal optical resolution is 1200dpi instead of 2400, and a page size of A3 instead of A4. I'd feel uncomfortable doing much experimentation with recompiling the sources, out of concern for damaging the scanner, which I need to use for a project. Would any of you guys be interested in getting this scanner to work with SANE? I'd be willing to contribute one of these right away... not that you need yet another one :-) Scot

Hi, I got my scanner working OK, with Henning's help a while back. Everything's been fine but now when I use it I get : [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of gt68xx to 2. [gt68xx] SANE GT68xx backend version 1.0 build 71 from sane-backends 1.0.16 [gt68xx] attach: found Mustek flatbed scanner ScanExpress A3 USB at libusb:002:009 [gt68xx] get_id: vendor id=0x0210, product id=0x055F, DID=0x00020091, FID=0x Segmentation fault whenever I do anything with it.

Hi, Has anybody had any problems with scanning at 600 dpi. It scans fine until about 350mm and then it sits still. When the image comes out it looks OK up to 350mm length (full width) and then it's random noise in the pic, up to its full size (about the remaining 5%). If I scan at 300dpi, everything is fine. I've tried limiting the size with: Geometry: -l 0..297mm [0] Top-left x position of scan area. -t 0..433mm [0] Top-left y position of scan area. -x 0..297mm [297] Width of scan-area. -y 0..433mm [433] Height of scan-area. But it ignores what I enter and only scans to about 150mm length and again I just get noise for the remainder 80%. Any ideas? Thanks Jonathan
