[sane-devel] scanbd with sane backend - howto read buttons?
Button support is entirely dependent on which sane backend is in use. Not all backends support buttons, even if they are on the scanner. allan On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 1:35 AM, Ilya V.

That probably means that my scanner's sane backend does not support buttons (its epkowa, Epson GT-1500). However scanbuttond supports it (with a patch to backends/epson_vphoto.c). How one would port buttons support from scanbuttond to sane backend? I may have enough spare time to roll a patch, but not enough to dig out all inner workings of both scanbuttonbd and sane. -- Ilya From: m. allan noah kitno455 at gmail.com To: Ilya V.
