Hi SANE community and developers, I am here on Debian/unstable AMD64 with SANE v1.1.1 and have sane-utils plus sane-airscan version 0.99.27-1 installed
Two scanners are out of interest to me for archiving important documents as PDF. 1. Epson Perfection V39 2. Canon LiDE 300 [1] and [2] says: Model || Interface || USB id || Status || Comment || Backend || Manpage ============================================================================================================ Perfection V39 || USB || 0x04b8/0x013d || Unsupported || supported by the epkowa backend plus non-free interpreter || epson2 || sane-epson2 ============================================================================================================ CanoScan LiDE 300 || USB || 0x04a9/0x1913 || Complete All resolutions supported (up to 2400DPI) || pixma (0.28.6) || sane-pixma So the Canon LiDE 300 seems to work OOTB (out-of-the-box)? In regards to the Epson V39 scanner which is my favorite (higher resolution 4.800x4800 and looks more compact in size): What does "supported by the epkowa backend plus non-free interpreter" mean? How do I configure sane here? What about sane-airscan? I found some docs about Epson V39 and NixOS Users here who run an Epson V39 in a Linux environment? Any other help? What user-space tools can you recommend? xsane? Alternatives? Can you give me some debugging help - especially for the Epson V39? Also, I am very open to hints of the topic "document archiving on Linux". If you need further information, please let me know. Thanks. Regards, - Sedat - P.S.: I have some friends running Windows-7 in a Linux-VM and scanning from this environment. I prefer Linux-native support :-).
