Be sure that scanbd uses the correct location of libsane config files (see ReadMe). In most cases this will be a seperate directory (e.g. /etc/scanbd) where all configs and dll.conf are. This dll.conf must not contain the net-backend. On the other hand the standard libsane config location (/etc/sane) has to contain a dll.conf with only the net backend. I changed trunk to include an additional debug output to log the env-var SANE_CONFIG_DIR. Please check the startup-script if the right dir ist set ... > > FTR, I started scandbd from the command-line, waited a few seconds and > then pressed each button once.

Wilhelm, thank you for having a look. I must admit that the logs were gotten a few weeks ago. It is quite possible that my memory of what I was doing at what point in time was faulty. My apologies about that. I am only starting to learn how to decipher the logs on my own (totally impossible feat at log level 7, hahaha). Given that you were unable to see any difference I started a re-run and inserted some markers into syslog with the logger command to make sure I will be able to gather what happened when this time. From what I understand now, it seems that the scanner is indeed NOT recognized. How can that come about, especially given that on a call from the command-line things work just fine with the same configuration? FTR, I started scandbd from the command-line, waited a few seconds and then pressed each button once. This seems to have been successful. In the case of init, I started the program via the services command, realized the scanner was NOT recognized, unplugged and replugged it and then pressed all buttons (even though apparently the scanner had not been recognized).

If there's no stall, clear_halt > should not be used, IIUC. Hmm, it doesn't look like sanei_usb allows > you to find out about that ... Yeah, the Canon machines halt at the drop of a hat. I added sanei_usb_clear_halt specifically for them. But, no matter. Based on the threads linked from this post: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg105515.html I have come up with a workaround that fixes both the Canon and the Fujitsu machines I have access to. It seems the xhci controller refuses to transmit a clear_halt to the device or reset the data 0/1 toggle in the host when the ehci controller would. However, sending a set_interface command for the interface that is already selected, seems to do both of those things. So, I added a call to sanei_usb_set_altinterface (s->fd, 0); right before the calls to sanei_usb_close() or sanei_usb_clear_halt() in those two backends, and everything suddenly seems to work. I need to do some further testing, and see if these changes should be moved up to sanei_usb instead of the backends. allan -- "well, I stand up next to a mountain- and I chop it down with the edge of my hand" -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org

I see that the scanner and all options are recognized as in the call-from-shell case. So, the buttons presses (value changes) should be recognized as well ...

Re: [sane-devel] Support of Mustek A3 2400S

I had a look and indeed they are *very* pricey. That's even a completely different range of price. While Mustek scanners are in the hundreds of EUR range, the Fujitsu are in the thousands range. Maybe they are a lot better though, and if they give documentation are FLOSS-friendly, but my current wallet would not allow me to buy these. For information, I contacted Mustek, and they confirmed me that all their scanners are compatible with Linux, even A3 2400S, which is not written as such. They also told me that the front button won't be supported on Linux right now though, so the advantage of models such as A3F1200N/A3F2400N is lessened. I sent another email asking about the 32/64 bit part, since I hadn't noticed this when I first sent the email.

I wonder if this is Debian-specific and you'd need access to a Debian system. Other Debian users did report the same symptoms, though. I can crank up the debug-logging to level 7 and rerun the test, but I felt it was giving me too much. Currently there is nothing in the log to give any clue as to what is going wrong in one case but not the other? What could I do to get that information? Any hunch as to what might be the problem? The scanner is actually being recognized by scanbd in both cases. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Hello Wilhelm, thank you for the quick response. Like I said, the binary package and my installation still has many rough edges. They will need to be dealt with one at a time, in the proper order. The part you refer to is the one that is "actually working", where the call to the script at least happens.
