so, i need to make this scan work for my library project. but it is giving me so many problems. i'll attach you what it does, and the original image. http://ompldr.org/vZ25mdw (note it's converted to jpg so you can see it online. te commandline was *convert -quality 70 001.pnm 001.jpg*)
console output: ------------------------------------------ >>> scanimage -d genesys:libusb:002:003 --mode Color --format pnm --swcrop=yes --resolution 200 -v >001.pnm [genesys] WARNING: Your scanner is not fully supported or at least [genesys] had only limited testing. Please be careful and [genesys] report any failure/success to [genesys] sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org. Please provide as many [genesys] details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your [genesys] scanner and what does (not) work. scanimage: scanning image of size 1622x2337 pixels at 24 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring RGB frame scanimage: min/max graylevel value = 0/255 scanimage: read 11371842 bytes in total ------------------------------------------------------ and the second one is a (low quality) photo of it (taken with my cell phone). keep in mind it gives very little contrast - the light part is actually white. http://ompldr.org/vZ25mcg i have been looking around, and i found that channels are screwed up. i mean, if you open the scanned image with gimp, and separate the channels, you can see the red one is OK, but blue and green are not good. i mean, too many lights and shadows. (i can show you another image if it's not clear with this one) i have two of those scanners, and both of them do the same thing. i have tried with several computers, and got same results. however, with other scanners, scanimage works fine. the same aplies for xsane. i don't mind getting my hands into the driver (genesys_gl841), BUT, i don't know how to use usbsnoopy under windows (i tried, but it did nothing), and even if it worked, i wouldn't know what to do with that data. also, i found this: http://old.nabble.com/Backend-for-plustek-Opticbook-3600-td26641970.html but i understood very little if anything. so, i need to get this scanner working, driver is doing weird things (under windows, scanners work as expected), and i don't know what to do with it. PS: i tried to activate debugging, but scanimage wouldn't accept a --debug option, and setting just the debug vars did nothing (SANE_DEBUG=255 and so on). i also tried to recompile the driver to activate debug support (i'm working with packages from debian wheezy's repos), but it told me this: -------------------------------------------- [10:56:12] - [root at vivo:/usr/src/sane-backends-1.0.22] 713 >>> command ls -F acinclude.m4 ChangeLog-1.0.14 ChangeLog-1.0.4 configure* japi/ po/ README.linux sanei/ aclocal.m4 ChangeLog-1.0.15 ChangeLog-1.0.5 configure.in lib/ PROBLEMS README.netbsd testsuite/ AUTHORS ChangeLog-1.0.16 ChangeLog-1.0.6 COPYING LICENSE PROJECTS README.openbsd tools/ backend/ ChangeLog-1.0.17 ChangeLog-1.0.7 debian/ ltmain.sh* README README.os2 ChangeLog ChangeLog-1.0.18 ChangeLog-1.0.8 depcomp* m4/ README.aix README.solaris ChangeLog-1.0.0 ChangeLog-1.0.19 ChangeLog-1.0.9 doc/ Makefile.am README.beos README.unixware2 ChangeLog-1.0.1 ChangeLog-1.0.2 compile* frontend/ Makefile.in README.darwin README.unixware7 ChangeLog-1.0.10 ChangeLog-1.0.20 config.guess* include/ missing* README.djpeg README.windows ChangeLog-1.0.12 ChangeLog-1.0.21 config.log INSTALL mkinstalldirs* README.freebsd README.zeta ChangeLog-1.0.13 ChangeLog-1.0.3 config.sub* install-sh* NEWS README.hp-ux sane-backends.lsm [10:56:28] - [root at vivo:/usr/src/sane-backends-1.0.22] 714 >>> . configure bash: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target bash: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target bash: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "/bin" "/bin/.."
