hahah- oh sorry, no. there is no reason for all the various makers of equipment to get together and develop a common interface. the consumers want cheap and long lists of useless features, those two things are the enemy of robustness and interoperability. unless you know for a fact that your unit is a rebadged model from some other maker, or is compatible with existing ricoh scanners, you might be making your own backend. cracking it open and looking at the chips might help... allan > > -Satish > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Chambers [mailto:j...@jon.demon.co.uk] > Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 3:17 AM > To: satish kumar (WT01 - Embedded Systems) > Cc: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org > Subject: Re: [sane-devel] Accessing scanners on network addresable MFP? > > > Hi Satish, > > On Tue, 21 Mar 2006, satish.ku...@wipro.com wrote: >> [...] I am trying to access network >> addressable highend MFP over my LAN.
