[sane-devel] Backend for Relisys Teco Mercury 3600 VM3582
Hi Everyone, I recently got a friend's old parallel scanner Relisys Mercury 3600 (identical to Teco Mercury 3600 VM3582) and found out that it's not supported by sane (yet!). Does anyone plan on writing a backend? I couldn't find much in the mailing lists, probably due to the scanner being such a piece of junk. However, I need a bit of programming practise anyway, so I'll give it a try and try to write a backend myself. Please contact me if you've already tried to write one or would like to. As my programming skills are rather limited, help will be greatly appreciated. The existing three teco backends are all for SCSI-Scanners, so I guess just tweaking them a bit won't make the parallel scanner work with them. So long, Daniel

I have also installed an Epson r220 usb printer which works really well. The Distro uses xsane 0.991_2tex sane-backends 1.0.18-1tex libusb 1.0.18-1tex kernel is 2.6.16.27.tex1.lve for i686 kde version 3.5.3 I am unable to get the scanner to work. It has worked before with Xandros3.0.2 and does with the simplymepis6 livecd. So I know that the cables etc are ok. When booted with the scanner on sane-find-scanner results in found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0112 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:004:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). this is both as root and as normal user. I have tried specifying the usb vendor and device in the epson.conf and epkowa.conf files in /etc/sane.d I have also modified /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libsane.rules ACTION!=add, GOTO=libsane_rules_end SUBSYSTEM!=usb_device, GOTO=libsane_rules_end as suggested for Iscan at http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/faq_scan.html ACTION!=add, GOTO=libsane_rules_end SUBSYSTEM!=usb, GOTO=libsane_rules_end but this doesnt work. #lsusb states Bus 004 Device 004: ID 04b8:0112 Seiko Epson Corp.

I would be grateful for any help to resolve this. Similar problems exist with Xandros4.0 thanks Tom I've got a scanner like yours, on a SuSE installation I found, that downgrading the USB to ver. 1.1 solved the problem, but that it was'nt acceptable, so I bought a firewire cable, and now it runs at full speed.

[sane-devel] Re: Requesting progress on CanoScan 4200F
Hi! I see my self as a programmer, though it's been a while I've written in C. So I'd like some guidence on how to communicate with a usb device in C, as I've primariely done GUI, cryptographic and socket programming in C++. Greetings and best wishes Ren?

I have a CanoScan 8400F. As far as I can see from the specification pages of the 2 scanners on sane-project, they share exactly 1 chip and have a very similar second chip. However USB chip seems to be differnt. Also, from the specification on the canon homepage they seem similar. As mentioned in an earlier post, I am not a programmer but willing to help in the development of the genesys-backend (to which the 8400F is supposed to be added). So perhaps, a very similar driver will drive both scanners, at least in the basic functionality. Perhaps I could help you? Greetinx, Wolfgang Sailer

I am a S/W Developer. I have developed a Data Management System (DMS) using LAMP for our KPO (Knowledge Process Outsourcing) wing. Using that DMS all our client send their data (as image files), KPO guys process it and send output (in PDF) to client by using DMS. Right Now, the clients upload their data in two steps... 1. Scan (convert) their text file into image file (jpeg/tif/pdf) using scanner hardware at their end. 2. upload it on DMS for further process. Now We the IT guys what exactly wants is, Give the scan-upload option on DMS (i.e. when the client will click on scan option on DMS the DMS must be able to scan all his documents by using his / her scanner device autometically and upload it on concerning server directory.) Our DMS is a web based soulution for client interaction (to get data,to produce output), so client may be at any location at the world using different scanners. then how your SANE Api is rellivent in this regard and if it so, how can i use it in my existing DMS system. I am in great need.. So please help me Regds, Rajneesh Kumar __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
