Hello SANErs,

the Canon Pixma TS5150 is a pretty simple inkjet-machine, providing printing, copying and scanning (no FAX).

We are talking here just about the WIFI-connection (cable should work).

 * Canon, using a special protocol in the form of bnjp://IP.address,
   provdes a proprietary software /scangearmp2/, which is working, but
   is pretty rudimentary as well.
 * commercial software like /Vuescan/ is getting into contact
   immediately without any configuration
 * SANE - in its last versions - should be able to handle the
   bjnp-protocol as well, unfortunately doesn't in this case. You can
   make, what you want.


But there is a package /sane-airscan/, which does the job, making available Xsane, Skanlite and all of the other Opensource-frontends. Also without any further configuration.

So my question is: Shouldn't it be possible, to integrate - or, at  least, to use its technology - /sane-airscan/ into SANE to make machines of that kind work directly out of the SANE-box?



Thanks for your work and time

Wolfram Heider
