Hi, dear developers of SANE! I have `HP Scanjet 2400` scanner. Serial NO: CN648SR2H7. Regulatory Model: GRLYB-0209.
$ sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0a01 [hp scanjet scanner], chip=GL646_HP) at libusb:004:002 I have made some tests of my scanner under brand new Ubuntu 11.04, which seems to have latest version of sane-backends (1.0.22). I was using `scanimage` program to do tests like this: $ scanimage --mode <mode> --resolution <resolution> > ~/Desktop/image.pnm where <mode> and <resolution> varies in ranges: <mode>: Color, Gray, Lineart <resolution>: 50, 100, 150, 300, 600, 1200 Results are: 50dpi: output is garbage in all modes (color example: image50.tiff) 100 dpi: all modes works good (color example: image100_c.tiff) 150dpi: all modes: result image squashed vertically, scan head run beyond allowed scan borders with awful sounds, then surprisingly correctly returns back. (color result example: image150.tiff) 300 dpi: all modes works good (examples: image300_c.tiff, image300_g.tiff, image300_la.tiff) 600 dpi: `Color` mode: scanner hangups after few movements. Note that first couple of this movements are happens with 'correct' sound and the second couple - with slightly different sound, which seems to me not quite 'correct' (it's like screwing something). But this is definitely NOT the sound when head moves beyond allowed borders, that's different. If in this 'hangup' situation I hit "ctrl+c", the head correctly moves in it's parking position and I can do other scans in other modes just fine. `Gray` and `Lineart` modes: They don't hang, scanner head goes through all area and then correctly returns back. But the result isn't correct - there are two images squashed horizontally (see examples: image600_g.tiff, image600_la.tiff). 1200dpi: In all modes scanner just hangups, with no movements and sounds. "ctrl+c" not working, next scans failed with "No SANE devices found" until scanner reconnect. In 100 and 300 dpi modes, if I hit "ctrl+c" during scanning, scanner stops and then hangup. After some time scanimage exits with error message like "Error while scanner I/O". Next scan attempts failed with message "No SANE devices found" until scanner reconnect. `--preview=yes` switch doesn't change anything in all modes and resolutions. All examples archived here: http://lion-simba.github.com/scanjet2400_samples.7z I hope this info helps you guys finish support of this scanner and remove "Untested" mark from it. :) If you need some additional feedback, feel free to ask me. I'm a programmer so I have enough skills to apply patches, compiling, etc. Best regards, Alexey Osipov. PS. I think it's not quite good to require mail-list subscription prior to allow posting messages to it. ESPECIALLY in the list, to which users supposed to post feedback. Note the output of scanimage: $ scanimage [genesys] WARNING: Your scanner is not fully supported or at least [genesys] had only limited testing. Please be careful and [genesys] report any failure/success to [genesys] sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org. Please provide as many [genesys] details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your [genesys] scanner and what does (not) work.
