[sane-devel] fujitsu illegal request: invalid field in parm list

[Tim McGuire]

In reading the recent messages I've seen a couple of cases with Fujitsu backend 
like 
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2007-April/018982.html) 
and 
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scanning.sane.devel/10792)
where ..

[fujitsu] Illegal request: invalid field in parm list

scanimage: sane_read: Invalid argument


well, sorry to dump more on, but me too.  This is happening with every 
combination of parameters I try
I've got a fi-5750C (with USB) Suse 10.2
I'm using fujitsu backend 1.0.33 as you can see and I see there is a newer one 
(1.0.47) in CVS, but that the most recent poster has similar issue with the 
1.0.47.

I'd like to know if there are some arguments from the command line I can fiddle 
with to make the scanner happy?  Or, some other remediation.  Would it be worth 
it to grab the 1.0.47 version? Would it be worth it to try the SCSI?

thanks for all your hard work on this stuff,

Tim

different issue. dont use scanadf to scan from a flatbed, unless you
are going to add the -s 1 -e 1 options. there was a subsequent mail
about that.

just go with what is in cvs HEAD now, 1.0.50. it should support your
scanner out of the box. i am not convinced that i ever got the
pixel-shifting problem solved, however. that would manifest as weird
stair-stepping patterns in the output but only at certain scan widths.

if you see that problem, we just need to set a flag in the code for
that model to fix it.


 thanks for all your hard work on this stuff,

it has become a fairly time consuming hobby, yes. but i take great
pride in helping folks wrest control of their machines away from
proprietary software.
