Manufacturer and model is no problem, run something like scanimage -f '%v: %m,' | tr ',' '\n' But I think the model ID is not sufficient to be unique because * For the same model there may be more than one backend activated (e.g. 'epson' and 'epkowa') and different backends may require different color profiles. * There may be more than one same model connected. Individual models may require different color profiles. I think you need - manufacturer name, model name, and model ID - backend name - model serial number Regards, Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: [email protected] 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/
