Hello Linux scanner support developers, we have purchased Kyocera KM-1650 multifunction copier machine. It has great support for Linux printing, but unfortunately there seems to be only proprietary protocol for transfer scanned images to the Linux PC. (There is e-mail as well, but I would prefer FTP like service)
I have found, that NsCatCom.exe from File Utilities runs under Wine, but even that solution is not nice. There is my attempt to write small Linux daemon capable to receive scanned images http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/kyoscand-0.0.3.tar.gz This is proof of the concept and due to lack of information from Kyocera, the communication is only rough simulation of original utility based on captured data. But it seems to work in our setup. I know, that SANE is not the right target for this project, but I do not know, where to ask for help and offer my code. Excuse me for offtopic post. But I have not found any Scan System F for Linux related discussion except some old thread on SANE list. I would be very pleased, if my work would be usesfull for others and if more information, more complete support and enhancements can be reached by uniting forces.
