[sane-devel] Suse9.1, sym53c8xx and umaxscanner, help from Abel
Hello list, with updating to Suse 9.1 I got a lot of trouble with my scanner, a vernerable umax 1220 S, connected via the sym53c8xx module, which had worked absolutely flawlessly till then. The module wasn't loaded ast boottime, the scanner because of this not regonized. Module loading by hand lasted extremely long and unloading wasn't just impossible. The same procedure with additional parameters brought but little relief - the scanner remained dead. I talked about this problem and the problems I faced during the initial setup of Suse 9.1, when automatic installation didn't work, because Yast searched for a scsi-harddrive that didn't exist (the only client of the controller was the scanner), with Abel Deuring. He proposed to focus on the coldplug script and to switch it off for tresting. And that was it. There must be something considerably wrong in the realm of this script. So I would recommend to everyone who also faces the Suse9.1/sym53c8xx-problem and can afford to get on without USB-support to deactivate the startupscript /etc/init.d/rc5./S02coldplug till the folks at Suse have done it better. Greetings Wolfram Heider
[sane-devel] Epson 1250 scanner does not return back after scanning

I.e. it does not return back to the original home position. Can somebody help us? We have - FreeBSD system - sane-backends-1.0.14 - only unmarked driver in the dll.conf if a plustek driver The lamp is switched off by the software and the behaviour can be setup in the configuration file.

check the linspire website and search for gcc which version you should install? their sane-backends (libsane) version is 1.0.12 . a bit old, don't know if the support for your scanner is included.

[sane-devel] Parallel Scanning and Printing
I have an Canoscan N640P, which works fine with sane/xsane. The interface is parallel, and on the scanner there is printer throughput which also is working fine. However, and I don't know if this should be solved in the backend or in sane, when I use the copy mode of Xsane, or even if Xsane is opened the printer doesn't work anymore. I need to close xsane and then te printjob starts. Probably xsane opens the backend and keeps the connecting live with the scanner while open. I can think of 2 sollutions for this problem, either xsane let's go of the scanner when it isn't using the device, or the backend should detect a printjob is waiting and disconnect from the scanner. Is there anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there already a sollution for this? If not, which sollution is best, and where should I start looking? versions: sane 1.0.13-1 (Debian unstable) xsane 0.96-1 (Debian unstable) Kind regards, Marc
[sane-devel] HP ScanJet 3670
Hi, we would like to make a driver for the Hewlett Packard ScanJet 3670 which is currently unsuported by sane. So we would like to know where to find more information than the one that can be found in the sane site. Also if we can find the scanner especifications somewhere or we have to ask them to HP. Finally if there is anybdoy else also trying to do this driver, please tell us. Thanks in advance and sorry for our bad english. Greetings. __ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ¡100 MB GRATIS!

[sane-devel] genesys backend - warming up procedure
Hi, On Thu, Oct 28, 2004 at 02:54:09PM +0200, Gerhard Jaeger wrote: That's probably not true, I think Henning is still working on that. I didn't want to check in my code, as there are too much changes, that have not been discussed with Henning. Maybe I add a new directory At the moment I don't have enough time to work on that code. All my local changes are in CVS. The last thing I did was to start a debug print of all the registers so it's easier to find out what's actually wrong. It's not complete yet, however. That debug printout is based on the GL646 docu, so it should fit all scanners based on that chip. So I don't mind if someone goes ahead and works on that code. It needs generalization anyway. Most chipset settings are at least somewhat commented so it should be possible to put the device specific values in the device settings of each device. If by a commit snathingy breaks for the UMAX 4500 (breaks more than it already is :-) I'll try to fix it. Status for the UMAX 4500: Works upto the start of fine claibration, fine calibration times out (waits for too much data, maybe?). Coarse calibration goes wrong, also. It actually scans data but the setting gets worse with each calibration step. Bye, Henning
