[sane-devel] HP 6300C scanner

[Marc Dirix]

Hello,

I'm currently having problems using a HP 6300C scanner
and the ADF. If I use scanadf, it does scan the pages I 
put in the ADF without problems, but it doesn't stop scanning
after the ADF is empty.

Is this normal? Should I tell it how many papers are in the ADF or
should it detect this by the sensor?

I can see an paper-sensor in the ADF, which I can push down, and
it pops up again without problems. As I don't have any windows at
hand just now so I'm not able to test against it. But I'll
try to get my hand on one to know if windows has the same behaviour.

[sane-devel] Parallel Scanning and Printing

[Marc Dirix]

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
