The Plustek OpticPro ST-24 should work out of the box as far as I know. You just have to enable it since it's considered unstable. You can enable it by editing the file /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf and changing this:
# Plustek OpticPro ST24 #usb 0x07b3 0x0601 to: # Plustek OpticPro ST24 usb 0x07b3 0x0601 Tell me how it goes :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Epson Perfection 4180 Photo Message-ID: <[email protected]> * <[email protected]>Hello all! I have an Epson Perfection 4180 Photo USB Scanner that I am trying to use with Ubuntu Breezy Badger. I seemed to have gotten past all of the hurdles listed in the various postings I've read, but have hit an issue for which I cannot find any documentation. I downloaded and installed the iScan package from Avasys as described here<http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/%7Ea9826090/en/projects/linux/hardware/epson-3170/>and configured the sane conf files. It appears that the scanner is being recognized. When I run Xsane, I get a choice of two available devices on the splash screen: both are "Epson", but one is at epson:libusb:004:003 and the other at **epkowa:libusb:004:003. From what I've read, I've supposed to use Epkowa, but I've tried both just in case. After hitting OK, I get the main Xsane windows (v 0.97). When I click on either of the "Acquire Preview" or "Scan" buttons, I get a dialogue box stating, "Failed to start scanner: Invalid Argument". In addition, If I try to execute scanimage from the command-line, I get the following: scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument scanimage: WARNING: read more data than announced by backend (0/2409629696) iScan returns a similar error, a dialogue stating, "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status". Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? I can send along more info if you let me know what to look for. Thanks much! -Brandon * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My environment is Apache server 2.x and PHP 5.x and everything is installed on a windows 2000 server. I have checked with my Device Manufacturer who says that this particular scanner uses TWAIN driver. I have some Questions which are as follows:- 1) SANE API, is it only for Linux/Unix systems or it can be used for windows Networks also. I could not find a library for Windows Networks. 2) I also searched for the Backend for my Scanner and Found that Brother has contributed one for Linux. Again where do I get one for Windows? 3) I am very novice in this area of development so please excuse my question but, I am hoping to come across various scanners which I will have to interface with my application, so is it better for me to look for a SANE to TWAIN kind of interface for my application or try to focus my development on TWAIn driver which this MFC is supposed to be compatible??? What I am looking for really/ideally is that I should not have to make much programming changes to get a SANE/TWAIN compatible scanner to interface with my program. Thanks, Girish
