Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Ilia Sotnikov]

Damiano,
apologies for a delay on my side - had just a quick look over the patch and it 
seems ok to me overall, just had no time to apply it. Sorry for that. Hopefully 
would be able to make it on coming weekend.

[sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Cesello]

Ops a missing important info:

The patch is for hp5590.c in the git repo 
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends.git
tag RELEASE_1_0_25.
I've choose that version  because is the last in debian stable.

[sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Cesello]

Hi Ilia et all
attached to this message is the patch (hope mailman engine does not
strip it out :))
Basically exports all missing options as buttons and fix a small problem
I've found interacting with scanbd.
I've tested during the weekend and last days (as real user , I missed
this feature for two months after debian upgrade)
and it seems to work.
Sometime the buttons are less responsive (it depends from scheduled
calls to options made by scanbd)
Probably a better approach could be a separate polling thread (maybe a
next version :))
but for now is quite usable.
I've tested with normal sane application too and with scanbm (for
network scanning and desktop shared scanner)
and no problems at all
Sorry for some erratic indentation.. I've used a
"week-end-found-bad-editor" that mixed up tab and blank spaces

Let me know
Happy PI Day ;)

[Wilhelm Meier]

Hi together,

if this is a patch for scanbd and the old scanbuttond backends included
there, please send the patch to this list. I'll be happy to integrate it
into scanbd.

Thanks,
 Wilhelm

 After a bit more research, it looks like doing this with the SANE backend 
 for HP 5590 is not possible. scanbd is used to tie custom actions to the 
 options available on the scanner. In this case, none of the 10 options 
 seem to return values. They all look to be ones that I designate from some 
 client software.

 scanbd: found active option[1] tl-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[2] tl-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[3] br-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[4] br-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[5] mode (type: 3) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[6] source (type: 3) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[7] resolution (type: 1) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008 scanbd: found active option[8] extend-lamp-timeout 
 (type: 0) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[9] wait-for-button (type: 0) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[10] preview (type: 0) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008

 In this case, it looks like I will have to try the old scanbuttond 
 backends for this, or see if there are optional enhancements for the SANE 
 hp5590 backend.

[Ilia Sotnikov]

Excellent, thanks Damiano! As a quick step you could send the patch over to the 
DL and I’ll adapt it if needed. Or you could create a merge request, which 
would be more elegant though require additional steps.

 After a bit more research, it looks like doing this with the SANE backend 
 for HP 5590 is not possible. scanbd is used to tie custom actions to the 
 options available on the scanner. In this case, none of the 10 options 
 seem to return values. They all look to be ones that I designate from some 
 client software.
 
 scanbd: found active option[1] tl-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[2] tl-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[3] br-x (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[4] br-y (type: 2) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[5] mode (type: 3) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[6] source (type: 3) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[7] resolution (type: 1) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008 scanbd: found active option[8] extend-lamp-timeout 
 (type: 0) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[9] wait-for-button (type: 0) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 scanbd: found active option[10] preview (type: 0) for device 
 hp5590:libusb:001:008
 
 In this case, it looks like I will have to try the old scanbuttond 
 backends for this, or see if there are optional enhancements for the SANE

[sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Cesello]

Hi Ilia and Jared
I'm just registered to this ML to propose my patch to this back end
driver made in the past weekend.
And I see someone have my same problem :)
I've used hp5590 scanner with scanbuttond for years. Some week ago I've
upgraded my system to debian 9 and
discovered that scanbd does not works anymore with my scanner. I really
need this functionality so I've made
modifications to hp5590.c code to export the options .
Is a first attempt and the backend called by scanbd threads makes
buttons quite  responsive
without using a self polling thread.
I've made a patch file for debian 9  stable version package (yes but the
real patch is for hp5590.c only)
If you are interested I can send it (or tell me if I have to release
into the repo directly I'm new user here :))

 I'm been successful using scanbd with SANE backends to get scanning 
 working over my network and locally on the host machine, but I can't seem 
 to get it to recognize button presses, either running scanbd in foreground 
 or background.

 For past testing, it seems that actions defined in scanbd.conf are used to 
 tie to the backend options? From searching /var/log/syslog, I expected to 
 track button presses or get some sort of trigger feedback, and I didn't 
 think I needed an action set up for it.

 Any help on this one would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[Jared Hedegaard]

Thank you both Ilia and Wilhem.
I'll be testing out scanbuttond backends in the next day or two. 

Ilia, if you need assistance testing any changes, I'd be willing to help if 
need be. I've taken a peek at the backend code, and did see the function you 
mentioned, so I can do a little tinkering on in. Thanks for the insight.

Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Ilia Sotnikov]

Hi,
backend author here - it shouldn't be too much of effort to expose
button status so scanbd can use it. Though haven't gone thru its
documentation to understand requirements. As a technical insight -
there is hp5590_read_buttons() function in hp5590_cmds.c that reads
button status.
However, I'll seek for a volunteer to test a change as I don't have
access to HW currently.

Re: [sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Wilhelm Meier]

Please try the old scanbuttond-backend for this type of scanner - it
should work. The HP sane backend sadly doesn't support the buttons on
this scanner.

After a bit more research, it looks like doing this with the SANE backend for 
HP 5590 is not possible. scanbd is used to tie custom actions to the options 
available on the scanner. In this case, none of the 10 options seem to return 
values. They all look to be ones that I designate from some client software.

scanbd: found active option[1] tl-x (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[2] tl-y (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[3] br-x (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[4] br-y (type: 2) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[5] mode (type: 3) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[6] source (type: 3) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[7] resolution (type: 1) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008 scanbd: found active option[8] extend-lamp-timeout (type: 
0) for device hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[9] wait-for-button (type: 0) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008 
scanbd: found active option[10] preview (type: 0) for device 
hp5590:libusb:001:008

In this case, it looks like I will have to try the old scanbuttond backends for 
this, or see if there are optional enhancements for the SANE hp5590 backend.

[sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition

[Jared Hedegaard]

Main question: does the HP 5590 support button presses or am I just setting 
this up incorrectly? 

I'm been successful using scanbd with SANE backends to get scanning working 
over my network and locally on the host machine, but I can't seem to get it to 
recognize button presses, either running scanbd in foreground or background.

For past testing, it seems that actions defined in scanbd.conf are used to tie 
to the backend options? From searching /var/log/syslog, I expected to track 
button presses or get some sort of trigger feedback, and I didn't think I 
needed an action set up for it.

Any help on this one would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Details Below:
==
I've got an HP ScanJet 5590 connected via USB to my raspberry pi with Raspbian 
9 (Stretch).
sane 1.0.14-12 armhf
scanbd 1.4.4-1+b1 armhf
Both provided by the package manager. I've tried to keep it as close to the way 
it is set up by default. I've changed dll.conf and net.conf in the /etc/sane.d 
folder.

$ cat /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
net

$ cat /etc/sane.d/net.conf 
connect_timeout = 5
localhost

I've copied saned.conf from /etc/sane.d and added a soft link to 
/usr/share/scanbd/scripts/ as scripts into /etc/scanbd. Adjusted dll.conf and 
minor edits on scanbd.conf

$ cat /etc/scanbd/dll.conf
hp5590

$ cat /etc/scanbd/saned.conf

}

multiple_actions = true # allow multiple actions per option (up to the 
total amount of options)

action scan {

numerical-trigger {

to-value   = 0
}
desc   = "Scan to file"
# script must be an relative path starting from scriptdir (see

I can access the scanner from the local client and over the network using the 
the net: backend.
