Hallo All, I have your e-mail address from the SANE project and from the top of the GENESYS driver for Linux.
I need your help: Do you know who is continuing the genesys driver project for linux? Here is the problem: I bought an HP-G4050 scanner. I know this is not supported by sane. I found out that the scanner has a GL843 control chip. In my opinion it might be very similar to the GL841 chip which the genesys driver is written for. I was googling a lot of in the Internet. I found a specification for the GL843 chip. But I am not a programmer and the genesys driver is to complex for me. I was also not able to fake the scanimage to use the genesys driver, because the driver has restrictions in itself (see genesys_devices.c). I am really sitting here waisting my time with testing. Can somebody help me with this issue or with some info regarding it? I like also to help a little (where I can). In my opinion it is mandatory to have a driver for this scanner, because it is a very common one. They are all working with Windows or Apple computers, but Linux is not supported -> It is a shame! Best regards Andreas Klafft, Germany PS: If you see a chance to make it in a reasonable time, tell me, ask me for my support, please or forward this e-mail to somebody who can give more info.
