Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Ilia Sotnikov]

Damiano,
apologies for a delay on my side - had just a quick look over the patch and it 
seems ok to me overall, just had no time to apply it. Sorry for that. Hopefully 
would be able to make it on coming weekend.

Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Wilhelm Meier]

Hi together,

if this is a patch for scanbd and the old scanbuttond backends included
there, please send the patch to this list. I'll be happy to integrate it
into scanbd.

Thanks,
 Wilhelm

 After a bit more research, it looks like doing this with the SANE backend 
 for HP 5590 is not possible. scanbd is used to tie custom actions to the 
 options available on the scanner. In this case, none of the 10 options 
 seem to return values. They all look to be ones that I designate from some 
 client software.

 scanbd: found active option[1] tl-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[2] tl-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[3] br-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[4] br-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[5] mode (type: 3) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[6] source (type: 3) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[7] resolution (type: 1) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008 scanbd: found active option[8] extend-lamp-timeout 
 (type: 0) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[9] wait-for-button (type: 0) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[10] preview (type: 0) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008

 In this case, it looks like I will have to try the old scanbuttond 
 backends for this, or see if there are optional enhancements for the SANE 
 hp5590 backend.

[Ilia Sotnikov]

Excellent, thanks Damiano! As a quick step you could send the patch over to the 
DL and I’ll adapt it if needed. Or you could create a merge request, which 
would be more elegant though require additional steps.

 After a bit more research, it looks like doing this with the SANE backend 
 for HP 5590 is not possible. scanbd is used to tie custom actions to the 
 options available on the scanner. In this case, none of the 10 options 
 seem to return values. They all look to be ones that I designate from some 
 client software.
 
 scanbd: found active option[1] tl-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[2] tl-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[3] br-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[4] br-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[5] mode (type: 3) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[6] source (type: 3) for device

 hp5590:libusb:001:008

Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Jared Hedegaard]

Thank you both Ilia and Wilhem.
I'll be testing out scanbuttond backends in the next day or two. 

Ilia, if you need assistance testing any changes, I'd be willing to help if 
need be. I've taken a peek at the backend code, and did see the function you 
mentioned, so I can do a little tinkering on in. Thanks for the insight.

Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Ilia Sotnikov]

Hi,
backend author here - it shouldn't be too much of effort to expose
button status so scanbd can use it. Though haven't gone thru its
documentation to understand requirements. As a technical insight -
there is hp5590_read_buttons() function in hp5590_cmds.c that reads
button status.
However, I'll seek for a volunteer to test a change as I don't have
access to HW currently.

Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Wilhelm Meier]

Please try the old scanbuttond-backend for this type of scanner - it
should work. The HP sane backend sadly doesn't support the buttons on
this scanner.

After a bit more research, it looks like doing this with the SANE backend for 
HP 5590 is not possible. scanbd is used to tie custom actions to the options 
available on the scanner. In this case, none of the 10 options seem to return 
values. They all look to be ones that I designate from some client software.

scanbd: found active option[1] tl-x (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[2] tl-y (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[3] br-x (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[4] br-y (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[5] mode (type: 3) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[6] source (type: 3) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[7] resolution (type: 1) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008 scanbd: found active option[8] extend-lamp-timeout (type: 
0) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[9] wait-for-button (type: 0) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[10] preview (type: 0) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008

In this case, it looks like I will have to try the old scanbuttond backends for 
this, or see if there are optional enhancements for the SANE hp5590 backend.
