[sane-devel] Linux software for scanning, text/graphic functions
Hi folks,, Searching for software with scanning, text/graphic editing, etc. functions I have been using PaperPort for a prolonged time, which is a proprietary software running on M$Windows, mainly for scanning text documents. It has a desktop which allows scanned documents to be displayed there, binding them as book, doing direct editing, i.e. adding text as a note directly on the scanned document, deleting selected words/paragraphs and typing text on their space, etc.. It also has simple graphic editing function. Books can be re-binded, i.e their pages can reallocated, such as page 1 shifted to page 10, page 38 to page 12, etc. directly on desktop. Also the books can be discomposed again as separate documents before binding. Documents can be saved in many formats, max, pdf, html, jpg, gif, etc. PaperPort is similar to PageKeeper, OmniPage, etc. All of them are proprietary software for M$Windows Are there similar software from Open Source running on Linux. Gimp can do the job but it is a heavy tool not for this simple task. Kindly advise. TIA I have been informed of kooka being close http://www.kde.org/apps/kooka/index.php Any comment? B.R. Stephen Liu
[sane-devel] canon_pp problem

The scanner produces some noise however and the head moves a bit. Hi, I've seen similar problems reported a few times now, but I can't seem to work out what the common link is. I have a feeling it may be something that's changed in parport_pc between 2.4 and 2.6. In particular, people who have their ports reporting as ECP-S rather than ECP don't seem to have much luck. It's particularly weird because it seems to work for a little while and then the data stops flowing. Could you try enabling the force_nibble mode in canon_pp.conf? and if that fails and you're feeling brave, try playing with your parport_pc module options (ie, specify dma and irq manually). Beyond that I'm not sure what's causing the problem. I now have a couple of machines around with 2.6 on them, so I'll try to do some testing soon.
