For magicolor devices, KONICA MINOLTA provides SNMP functionality to detect the scanner (existence, model, etc.) and also some of its capabilities. Is there any SNMP framework provided by sane that can/should be used, or is it completely up to me to implement the SNMP conversation?
I couldn't see anything SNMP-related in the default backends, so how would you suggest to implement SNMP? libsnmp or manually implementing SNMP from scratch (as cups seems to do)? Cheers, Reinhold PS: The backend for the magicolor 1690mf (and as Ilia Sotnikov noticed probably also some bizhub devices) is progressing nicely. Currently, I'm already at a stage where the scanning is started and the data is received by the backend. Of course, there are still some things where I don't know the exact purpose of command arguments, but the most important stuff is decoded and implemented. If you are interested, the current state can be found a git repository at repo.or.cz: http://repo.or.cz/w/sane-backend-magicolor.git WARNING: This is very much work in progress, so it will probably not work for you yet, and it might even lock up your device right now! Try it entirely on your own risk! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhold Kainhofer, reinhold at kainhofer.com, http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial & Actuarial Math., Vienna Univ. of Technology, Austria * http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/, DVR: 0005886 * LilyPond, Music typesetting, http://www.lilypond.org
