[sane-devel] canon lide 70 support

2007-04-04 Thread Gerald Murray
Quoting Willi Geffers geff...@informatik.rwth-aachen.de:

 The scanner doesn't appear in the list of supported devices. But the
 list hasn't been updated since july 2006 and most of the supported
 scanners are no longer available.
 
 So I'm wondering whether the Canon LiDE 70 will be supported in a future
 release of sane or which scanner I should use instead

Hello Willi,
There is a more current page for that scanner, dated 2006/Oct.
No developer has yet been interested in pursuing that model.  If you
are interested in doing so, read the links in that page for directions
on how to help.  The chipset used remains unknown, and there are 
hints on where to look for that information.  If you want to use a 
sane-supported scanner, choose from one that is currently supported.

Good luck,
Gerald

Hello everybody,

I've purchased a Canon LiDE 70 scanner and attached it to my debian
sarge system runing sane-utils 1.0.15-9. So far no success:

# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified...

# lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04a9:2225 Canon, Inc.
...

The scanner doesn't appear in the list of supported devices. But the
list hasn't been updated since july 2006 and most of the supported
scanners are no longer available.

So I'm wondering whether the Canon LiDE 70 will be supported in a future
release of sane or which scanner I should use instead. The Canon LiDE 25
is supported, but it is not my favorite candidate. A more up-to-date
scanner would be better... ;-)

Regards
Willi

 Hi,
 
 I'm newly subscribed here, and found just two postings about this
 scanner in the archives. I purchased one today and am trying to get
 support for it. So far, no success. I tried to just add a struct
 canon_lide_70_model into genesys_devices.c by copying the lide_60 part
 and only adjusting the resolutions and model names, and adding a line
   {0x04a9, 0x221c, canon_lide_60_model},
 into genesys_usb_device_list. After this, I added the usb data to
 /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf, and then after compiling I get:
 
 # scanimage -L
 device `genesys:libusb:004:007' is a Canon LiDE 70 flatbed scanner
 
 but scanning doesn't actually work:
 
 # scanimage  ~/file.pnm
 scanimage: open of device genesys:libusb:004:007 failed: Invalid argument
 
 The scanner doesn't show any reaction. I wonder if it's a GENE based one
 at all. How do I find out?  How can I help to get this supported? I have
 14 days before I have to send it back if it doesn't work... ;-)
 
 I'm using gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r8 and sane-backends 1.0.18-r2.
 
 Here is the lsusb -v -v output's section about the scanner:
 
[...]
 
 Regards

The scanimage -v -v output on this page:
http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/canon-lide-70.html
says it is very probably not a genesys based scanner.

Regards,
  Pierre

Send it back and get yourself a scanner you can find in the list of
already supported scanners (
http://sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html ).

Personally I have an Epson Perfection 4490 with an Automatic Document
Feeder (ADF) (optional accessory to this scanner) that I use using iscan
( http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html ) , there is a sane
plugin on that page as well if you want to use other frontends.
