Hi all, I have a Canon DR-7080C at work that I can no longer use with supported versions of windows because the driver support only goes up to windows vista. So I am giving SANE a try as it seems a shame to can the scanner as it is still in very good condition and is a good quality unit.
The supported hardware list shows it as untested but someone on this mailing list has had a recent success with a basic test ( http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2014-August/032565.html ). I am new to using SANE. I'm fairly green in the Linux dept too but I am learning and am an IT Tech by trade from a primarily windows environment and I am wondering what is required to get it to a tested working, or not, status and if I can help with the testing at all? I am willing to use a few lunch hours and some time after work to help. So far scanimage -L and scanimage -T the same results as the linked email above. Using Xsane I can scan a single page but not if it is placed on the document feeder. That doesn't seem to want to feed so far regardless of the few settings i have tried. Xsane seems to only be able to do one scan at a time before refusing to do the second. I have yet to have a bash at the command line. For my purposes I don't mind if it is only command line compatible as I am using a raspberry pi as my header unit for the scanner. This means I can rig up some hardware buttons to the GPIO pins in a nice case and have some predefined scanning scripts to bring the scanner back to life. Kind regards James
