[sane-devel] Invalid argument (status 4) when calling sane_start

Hi! The v4l backend supports only a few modes so you have to select the correct ones to get a image. So it's the v4l settings that are wrong or the SANE settings? There's a couple of things I'd fix with the v4l backend 1) Default (startup) mode must be valid and supported so a user can

Hello! When I call sane_start() it returns SANE_STATUS_INVAL (4). This happens both when I use the API and the scanimage binary. scanimage -L reveals: device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 virtual device I don't have anything else to test with, but I pressume

The sane v4l support is probably broken, as that code is unmaintained. you could enable debugging info for it, but then you would have to start fixing the backend. better to get a supported scanner. allan On 12/15/07, Peter Gebauer petgeb at users.sourceforge.net wrote: Hello! When I call

Can anyone give me advice about what I can do to diagnose this problem? (commands to run... debugging flags to turn on... log files to scour, etc.). Does anybody have an idea what Invalid argument might possibly mean? I'm dyin' here :) On Sun, 2006-09-17 at 19:51 -0400, Tzadik Vanderhoof

and such is the danger of using a closed source sane driver, we have no way of helping you debug the problem. ask brother, and ask them to open source it while you are at it... :) allan On Mon, 18 Sep 2006, Tzadik Vanderhoof wrote: Can anyone give me advice about what I can do to diagnose

Hi, I'm wondering whether this is really a backend problem, as I am currently using the genesys backend and am experiencing the same problems. However, it does not seem as if other users with the same backends and scanners have problems doing so. Additionally, switching between different backend

I have a Brother MFC 210C on Ubuntu Dapper which I installed using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=105703 . Everything was working great (both printing and scanning using xsane) but somehow the scanning has stopped working. I tried uninstalling things and reinstalling, but nothing has

Exactly the same problem with my Canon Lide 60, but unfortunately no solution so far. I should say that scanning never really worked 'great', there were some minor issues in the past that I could only scan a limited number of pages (most times only one) until I got 'invalid argument' but however,
