Hi Wilhelm, Hi everyone,
As promised, this is my post to confirm I completed the install of
scanbd on Ubuntu with full support of all four buttons of an EPSON
Perfection V200 Photo scanner.
To share my findings, I posted the whole procedure (2 posts) here:
http://thehomeserverhandbook.com/2012/03/03/scanbd_part1/
which explains how to patch scanbd with an EPSON V200 specific
backend, compile and install it.
many thanks to Emmanuel!
I just added the Epson V200 backend to scanbd/trunk. So the procedure
should be a little bit easier ...
http://thehomeserverhandbook.com/2012/03/18/scanbd_part2/
which explains scanbd configuration including a nice script offering the
following functions:
- Single page scan to JPEG
- Instant copy (scan to printer)
- Email creation with JPEG or multi-page PDF attachment
- Multi-page PDF creation
All this using only the scanner front buttons!
Also included is a special udev rule allowing to start xinetd/scanbd
when the scanner is turned on and stop them when the scanner is turned off.
Enjoy!
Emmanuel
(PS: As Ubuntu seems to have replaced inetd/xinetd with upstart now, I
would be glad to start scanbd using upstart. Thanks in advance to those
who will help me.)

I promise I'll post to confirm when it'll work. Problem is I'm a Linux
newbie so I'm slow as I discover a lot of things :-). scanbd is the
first program I compile (stop laughing please). For now I can confirm I
patched scanbd to add a scanbuttond backend specific to the Espon v200
(because as far as I know epkowa backend won't allow me to manage the
buttons of this scanner), I run it using xinetd, the 4 functions are
discovered so I'll make my scripts. After that, I'll try to make sure
saned is ok and better understand some parts of your doc to be sure
everything is OK. Such as for example the part If scanbd is running on
a desktop machine... which is obscure to me ;-)
I'm glad to have scanbd as it seems it will end the fight between saned
and scanbuttond. Thanks for it !
Bests,
Emmanuel

In the meantime I'll return to scanbd as I'm about to succeed having
all
the 4 buttons working now :-)
Are there any issues regarding scanbd?
Regards,
Wilhelm
