Re: [sane-devel] pixma backend: -x/y auto advertised but not available / how to crop?

2017-04-27 Thread Manuel Reiter
Nobody? I found this old discussion which seems to suggest the pixma devices 
don't support auto-detection:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2009-December/025674.html

If that's indeed the case, may I suggest updating the pixma backend so that it 
doesn't advertise capabilities that don't exist?

Also, I'd still appreciate suggestion for a scriptable approach to achieve this 
functionality.

Thanks,

  Manuel

[sane-devel] TIFF to PDF at 300dpi?

2017-04-12 Thread Manuel Reiter
Hi all,

this might be a bit off topic here and if that's against this list's policy, I 
apologize in advance, but I've been websearching literally for hours now 
without finding a solution and I figure somebody here might have had the same 
problem before.

I want to convert a TIFF, scanned at 300 dpi, to a PDF of the same size and 
dpi. From my searches, this should be achievable both with ImageMagick's 
"convert" with output option "-r300" and with ghostscript and 
"-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer". However, both approaches don't work for me. convert 
resamples the image to 72 dpi while ghostscript correctly embeds the image at 
full resolution but does apparently not set the required metadata for the 
PDF/embedded image resolution to be recognised as 300 dpi.

Any ideas anybody? Suggestions where else to ask are also highly welcome. 
Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Manuel

[sane-devel] pixma backend: -x/y auto advertised but not available / how to crop?

2017-04-11 Thread Manuel Reiter
I'm using saned with a Pixma MP610 all-in-one on a Raspberry Pi 3 
running an up-to-date Rasbian Jessie. scanimage --help shows me the 
following options for Geometry:


[...]
Options specific to device `net:localhost:pixma:04A91725_414EE7':
[...]
  Geometry:
-l auto|0..216.069mm [0]
Top-left x position of scan area.
-t auto|0..297.011mm [0]
Top-left y position of scan area.
-x auto|0..216.069mm [216.069]
Width of scan-area.
-y auto|0..297.011mm [297.011]
Height of scan-area.
[...]

However, trying to actually use "-x auto" results in an error:

--snip
reiter@hive:~ $ scanimage -d net:localhost:pixma --mode Color \
--resolution 300 -l auto -t auto -x auto -y auto > /dev/null
scanimage: option --x: bad option value (rest of option: auto)
--snip

Is this a bug or an error on my part?

I intend to use this scanner for a document management system and expect 
to scan quite a number of non-full-size documents. If x/y auto is indeed 
not available, what would be a good way to automatically crop my scans? 
The included (Mac) Software actually does a decent job so it seems to be 
possible.


Thanks in advance for your answers!

Cheers,

  Manuel

[sane-devel] scanbd on Raspbian: scanner only sporadically detected

2017-04-09 Thread Manuel Reiter
Hi everybody,

I'm currently trying to set up saned with a Canon Pixma MP610 on a Raspberry Pi 
3 running the latest Raspbian Jessie. Scanning works well, however I have some 
trouble gettings scanbd to work reliably. Scanbd will only detect the scanner 
on startup every once in a while. Log from the last successful start is at

http://paste.debian.net/926687

This was a foreground run, unfortunately only on debug level 4. After I 
terminated this run, I started scanbd via systemd. This did not detect my 
scanner. All subsequent tries were unsuccessfull as well. Log from one such try 
at debug level 7 is at

http://paste.debian.net/926688

My config files are

/etc/scanbd/scanbd.conf:http://paste.debian.net/926677
/etc/scanbd/sane.d/saned.conf:  http://paste.debian.net/926680
/etc/scanbd/sane.d/dll.conf:http://paste.debian.net/926683
/etc/saned/saned.conf:  http://paste.debian.net/926684
/etc/saned/dll.conf:http://paste.debian.net/926685

What seems weird to me is that scanimage -L detects the scanner reliably every 
time, both local and remote, so scanbm doesn't seem to share the problem.

Any hints on how to debug this are highly welcome, thanks in advance! If you 
need any more info, please ask!

Cheers,

  Manuel
