[sane-devel] Canon FS4000

2003-08-10 Thread Deiters
I had a look at a transaction log of a Canon FS4000 connected via SCSI: The SCSI commands are not the same as for the other Canon scanners. A number of them is vendor-specific and - since Canon does not make programming details available - undocumented. Hence the Canon-SCSI backend cannot be used

Hi, www.mostang.com was temporaryly down. But when you now have a look at http://panda.mostang.com/sane/sane-mfgs.html you can see that it is not supported. You can also now search the mailing list again and you will see that there seems to be some effort to analyze that scanner. So just wait

Hi, I could not find a backend for my PrimeFilm 1800i, so I decided to write one. It seems that I can't get anything about the protocol so I used usbsnoop on a windows box to log the protocol. It produced a nice 8 Mb log file. Next, lacking any experience with USB I started reading the specs, the

Just a thought. Could SANE2 introduce a handcheck protocol to determine which API is used : frontend_knows_versions( list_of_versions ) backend_agrees_to_use( version ) frontend_confirms_use_version( version ) If those functions are not found in backend - SANE1 How do you expect that to

Please don`t mix versions in the backend. There is no reel advantage to create a backend that supports version1 and= =20 version2. But it makes the backends very complex, large and has a high risk for bug= s. Oliver On Sunday 10 August 2003 10:06, Thomas Soumarmon wrote: Le Samedi 9 Ao=FBt 2003
