Will do, just a bit busy right now. I got tinking tho; how come MUSTEK distrubiting a back-end that's alledgedly is broken? http://www.mustek.com.tw/support/driver-manual-downloads.html#product=ScanExpress%20A3%20USB%201200%20Pro ftp://ftp2.mustek.com.tw/pub/new/driver/0_Old%20Products/ScanExpress%20A3%20USB%201200%20Pro/Linux/1LV1019/A3USB1200Pro-040B-20141209.zip So I've spendt some time researching their binary deb-package dated 2014 and have got it working fine on 32bit 'buntu 12.04. I'm in process of compiling a report on this research, planning to post it shortly (day or three), and are planning to dis-assemble the packages (binaries/source) available from MUSTEK to see if I get it to build on both 32 and 64bit 12.04. If this works the next step would be to try getting it to build on current libs ... I could be wrong, but I'm wondering if 'we' may have made a bit of a hash of it trying to build it ... And this business of hacking it to one specific scanner needs an audit. I'm not shure where I read it, but I wonder if it was intended (by MUSTEK) to autodetect ... I really don't know (all) the answers, but I feel we ought to :) > 2017-11-13 7:16 GMT+01:00 Gjermund Gusland Thorsen <[email protected] > > Can you run sudo sane-find-scanne in qira or strace and see what it does? > > > > 2017-11-13 7:14 GMT+01:00 Gjermund Gusland Thorsen < > > > > [email protected]>: > >> https://github.com/Pardus-Kurumsal/xsane/search?utf8=✓&q=mustek&type= > >> > >> 2017-11-13 7:12 GMT+01:00 Gjermund Gusland Thorsen < > >> > >> [email protected]>: > >>> I believe there is a source repo somewhere. > >>> > >>> 2017-11-13 3:16 GMT+01:00 Gjermund Skogstad <[email protected]>: > >>>> Hi all. > >>>> It's been 12 years since I last posted to a debian mailman list > >>>> (deb-edu), and > >>>> now it's in hope of getting somewhere useful with this Mustek A3 > >>>> scanner I've > >>>> got on my table. > >>>> > >>>> To be honest; I'm properly confused.
