[sane-devel] Maybe I am on the wrong list ...
Dear listmembers, maybe I am on the wrong list because my problem might be application - specific, however. I have set up a HP 7400C scanner, supported by the avision backend, it is detected and working. So far, so good. Now, if I scan a black and white printed text with xsane and adjust all parameters to default, 300dpi, Gray, contrast and brightness set to 0, (=100%), the resutls are nice quality scans, black is black, background is white. In contrast, attempting to do the very same with scanimage, calling: scanimage --mode Gray --contrast 0 --brightness 0 --resolution 300 > outfile the resulting picture in "outfile" (same printed text as above) is very bright, grey rather than black. Modifying brightness is making the result worse, modifying contrast as well. I cannot achieve the same result as with xsane - what makes me wonder as I had had expected to work the same way Any ideas / hints for me? I could provide resulting scans for explanation, however, I think I cannot upload anything. Regards, many thanks for your efforts Dieter Jurzitza -- --------------- Dr.-Ing.

Re: [sane-devel] scanbd ... next steps / questions ...
Hi Axel,
thank you very much for your feedback - I hope to have more spare time next
weekend to dive again into this issue.
But in general: I had had thought that there is a "generic" dll.conf having
only the net - backend enabled that sits in /etc/saned (after configuration of
scanbd). This I took from the README.txt:
***
6) sane config
All desktop applications should only get access to the scanners via the net
backend, so edit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to only contain the net-backend on the
desktop machines.
example dll.conf:
---
net
---
***
but somewhere there is a need to tell sane which physical device to use, so I
thought - maybe erratically - that scanbd "hides" other entries / a different
dll.conf in /etc/saned from sane and tells sane itself which scanner to use
but depicts to the "outer world" that there is nothing but a network scanner.
As readily said, this may be totally wrong. If I read your comments it sounds
as if the sane - configuration ought to remain "as is", but this is not what
the above mentioned entry in README.txt from scanbd tells me.
Regards,
thanks for all the work

[sane-devel] scanbd ... next steps / questions ...
Dear listmembers, probably these questions have readily been asked over and over again, then my apologies: 1.) /etc/scanbd/scripts which scripts does this refer to? There are some scripts in /etc/scanbd, those like "scanadf.script" and "test.script" (I am using a spec - file for opensuse some other person had had generated)? If I look into /etc/scanbd/scanbd.conf they ought to reside within /etc/scanbd/scripts, is that correct? Is there a configure - option that would print out all directories in use (or, even better, put this summarizing into config.log like several other packages do / emacs is a nice example in this regard ...)? 2.) /usr/lib64/scanbd/scanbuttond/backends, is this the directory I should copy /etc/saned/dll.conf to as well as all the other files from /etc/saned that are uncommented within *this* dll.conf (except net.conf) in contrast to /etc/saned/dll.conf that ought to contain no reference but "net"? Is this what is menat with "backends"? 3.) SCANBD_DEVICE could be /dev/scanner (if I have such a device?) 4.) SCANBD_ACTION - I do not really understand what is about this. >From within the "README.txt in the source-directory I did not really understand what is meant with the variables - would it be too much to simply ask for an example that would shed some light on the do's and don'ts of the configuration if the "regular" scanner would be say "hp" and the corresponding device would be "/dev/scanner"?

[sane-devel] SCSI-scanner & scanbuttond ...
Dear listmembers, prior to actually start playing around: can scanbuttond work with a SCSI - scanner? I know, it is oldfashioned, but I like it this way :-) I am using an HP ScanJet 6300 C via its SCSI-interface. It has 5 buttons at the front side.

Hi Olaf, > * > Me wonders too. I haven't seen one this century. I even wonder if SCSI > scanners still need to be supported. > * happily using my HP6300C through the SCSI bus with sane ... I do not know how many people like me are "out in the wild", but I am glad to have sane support this - one can buy such devices for close to nothing and they simply do what they were built to do, maybe slow, but who cares ;-) So, if it was me to decide (it is not, I know :-)) I wouldn't drop SCSI support if it is not causing harm ...

[sane-devel] Feature request (saned)
Dear listmembers, I have set up a scanner as a central device for the department I am working in. Now I have to face the problem that the DHCP-server of our Department is either poorly configured or behaving poorly. Anyway, the namelookup does not function as it ought to. Because I know that there is a restricted range of IP-adresses that would try to access the scanner, it would be very helpful (and reduce the maintainance effors significantly) to allow ranges of IP-addresses to access saned).

[sane-devel] Problems on Ultra SPARC
This message is in MIME format --_=XFMail.1.5.1.Linux:20021227225115:9239=_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Dear listmembers, following a discussion with Henning Meier Geinitz I point this question directly to the list, maybe there is someone out there who can tell what is going wrong. I have a Scanner (Mustek Paragon 600 CD) connected to the scsi-bus of a Sun Sparc. (Ultra 360 SMP). Alll SCSI devices work as they are expected to. The termination is as required (tested). However, even though the scanner is found during boot of the scsi-controller (I have tested two different controllers with two different configurations), sane always reports that there is no scanner. According to the recommendations of Henning I used the highest possible debug-level: SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=255 sane-find-scanner -v -v the result of this command may be found within the attachement of this email. The device is opened correctly, but then there is an error with the ongoing commands. It must be noted that the architecture is 64 bit; in contrast, the userland is compiled 32 bit (using the command sparc32 rpm -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/sane.spec) to generate a rpm for sane. I am using sane 1.0.8 as is from SuSE (what is the distribution that I choosed). Anybody out there having any idea on how to proceed? Maybe something related to big endian / little endian issues? Maybe sane thinks that the system is 64 bit even though it is living in a 32 bit environment? Any known issues with SMP? Many many thanks for any suggestions, take care a happy new year Dieter (SuSE linux @ 2.4.20 SMP kernel (vanilla, tested different ones with the same result), sane 1.08, Scanner MUSTEK Paragon 600 CD, Adaptec 29160 SCSI - controller or the internal Symbios Logic xx875' controller, both giving the same results.
