[sane-devel] Alexander Pevzner-sane-airscan-version

[pj . world]

Hello, Alexander Pevzner.

I have sane-airscan version (0.99.9+67.1 amd64) currently installed.
Now I am seeing on https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan that version
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/sane-airscan_0.99.15+74.1_amd64.deb
Is available for Mint 20.

 

1. I am seeing in my prior post I wrote (Whereis prior sane-airscan did not scan correctly with the MFC-J485DW). It was obviously a different package affecting the scan output then sane-airscan package. I recall that I could scan using sane-airscan but output was all grey or something completely NON legible.

 

1. I suppose I should probably update the installed version of sane-airscan to (0.99.15+74.1_amd64.deb) correct?

 

2. With sane-airscan version (0.99.9+67.1 amd64) currently installed. The brother MFC-J485DW works with xsane 0.999 to scan using sane-airscan eSCL option. I think it can be added to the compatible list maybe.

 

3. I notice with sane-airscan version (0.99.9+67.1 amd64) that 600 dpi is maximum. When I use the Brother device driver I can select 1200 dpi.

 

Thankyou

Regarding sane-airscan, what version do you use?
