List of available devices:
hp5590:libusb:005:002
Firs problem: ADF-Duplex does not work-
Scanning with --source flatbed or --source ADF works just fine.
But when trying ADF Duplex it doesn work at all.
No problems with the scanner in other programms (for example gscan2pdf) - and
as --search recognizes ADF Duplex it seems to be available.
For example:
pct-scanner-script --color --source ADF Duplex --resolution 300 --device
hp5590:libusb:002:004 --outdir /home/kaktux
resolves in the message:
"outdir not set, try adding --outdir /home/kaktux, closing now"
while exactly the same example with ADF only:
pct-scanner-script --color --source ADF --resolution 300 --device
hp5590:libusb:002:004 --outdir /home/kaktux
works just fine.
Second problem: lineart does not work-
Another thing is that -using exactly the same code/command line as above but
replacing color with lineart - it won't work (neither ADF nor Flatbed, nor ADF
Duplex).
It just gives the error message:
"scanadf: unrecognized option '--compression'"
But there is no such thing as compression mentioned anywhere (for
example in /etc/pct-scanner-script.conf).
As mentioned above - works also fine with other programs (which sadly
don't support segmented djvu)
