Sir,

For adding or removing lines you need not send me patch files. I will
do them myself.

Such actions will take some of your precious time.

When I request you that I can't execute the advice given then you
could send me the patch.

Actually, I delayed for want of time. I am sorry, I should have
informed you about my position!

I assure you: from the next time this error from my end won't recurr!

Regards.

Hi Rolf, Rajib,

The configure.in file has but you need to dig in a bit.  Given Rajib's
configure command, the --enable-preload options defaults to "auto".  In
that case, preloading is only enabled when you disable dynamic loading
or disabled shared libraries.  The default is to build shared libraries
*and* enable dynamic loading so preloading will not be enabled.

Just run ./configure with the --enable-preload option if that's what you
really want.

Re: [sane-devel] I want to test the Sane backend for Canon Pixma MG3670 Multi-functional Scanner-Printer I have

[Susmita/Rajib Bandopadhyay]

Dear Gernot,

Let me utilise this situation for a general lesson I discovered within
myself by my personal quest.

I have seen a kind of arrogance in the coders. An arrogance given by
their being financed by their Universities' collection of donations
and knowing this faux-built market demand.

These are another organised money aggrandising organisations like
other similar organisations.

Breatheable air, drinking water and food are the greatest ones. Then
comes vocations and using our free time! But our individual and
collective egos twist this simple truth beyond recognition

The Renaissance had brought over a freedom from the Church, but
created other enslaving organisations. The atheists and agnostics who
used science dreamt to build a solid structure using Secularism.

But among them are those 'Follwers' who need another God(s). They
follow Universities, Governments, etc.

These groups are naturally arrogant, impolite and opportunistic. This
includes many coders.

Ignorance of History (because of the absence of a solid education, in
addition to having ('Merit:  scorecards and certificates based on
rote-learning) make these entities, and they form ghettoes - to
control knowledge from spreading to everywhere. Ignorants are the ones
who pay money, attention, time, etc., to learn syllabused nonsense.

These university scholars pretend to read and know much but know very
little. The degrees provide them with a tool to bully the differently
interested ones.

The truth is that man has been built by evolution to learn by
experiencing. Reading is a very poor cousin of observation.

Only the un-empowered minds read so much and understand so little.

I had posted all the information I had, on the forum for particularly
you guys, who direct people to read everything. You have forgotten
that you had learnt, even reading, clinging on to your parents.

You did not even bother to read the subject of my thread!

You are all bad parents, you dictate when we want to treat you as parents.

But I don't deny you the credit of compassion you still possess.

But you should learn to take the responsibility of parenting the
differently interested ones. That will make you great! And you shall
love this greatness. Remember that we are social entities because of
which we are taken for a ride. Like the petty Europeans exploited the
whole world, because the greatest ones were few in numbers. It is
still the same.

I hope I have been able to express myself without causing you hurt. I
apologise if you are hurt. But remember this important lesson.

Love,
Rajib

Hi Rajib,

Your scanner belongs to the pixma backend!

If you want to compile only the Pixma backend, you need to use this command:
$ ./configure BACKENDS="pixma"

You don't need to set an option for PRELOADABLE_BACKENDS for compiling
Sane in Linux. Please ask the mailing list again for detailed
information about this option.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Rolf

[Gernot Hassenpflug]

Hello Rajib,
This is not a personal email exchange, but a mailing list run by an
open source project of volunteers.
The wording of your subject is not good enough to make it mean what
you want it to, in comparison to the usual interpretation that would
be given to it by readers of this ML.
My suggestion is:
(1) test the SANE backend with your scanner, and report back, so that
volunteer coders may correct it as they see fit. This would benefit
the SANE project.
(2) if your goal is to play with your own home-grown driver, then this
is unlikely to benefit the SANE project, but you may read the archives
and learn how to integrate a new backend (and how to disable the use
of an existing backend that already does this work). Doing this would
be educational for you I am sure.

Regads,
Gernot Hassenpflug

Hi Rajib,

The users knoppix and saned are members of the group scanner.

(1) knoopix: It's you, the logged in user.
(2) saned: It's an optional Sane daemon, which can be used from other
programs, e.g. scanbd (https://sourceforge.net/projects/scanbd/).

To use scanbd your scanner must support push button scan. Please read
your scanner's manual if it does.

Cheers,
Rolf

Sir,
Regarding :
http://sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-PIXMA
the scanner scans at 1200 but not perfectly!
We will have to work further. If needed, I would be ready to send one
scanned portion of an image for your kind perusal.
Please advice.

Another input, Sir!

Kindly inform the programmers that the Makefile makes installation
files for all Printers of the Universe.


Kindly advise them to make them printer specific.

The general Makefile eats a lot of CPU cycles and wastes awful lot of
time. I would have done it myself had I looked into the file earlier!

Just to search for the Printer string and remove everything else in the lines:
BACKENDS
BACKEND_CONFS_ENABLED
BACKEND_LIBS_ENABLED

Please have this input included in the README.linux file.

Documentation usually entails the manual pages and other files like
the readme (there are news, install, changelog, release information
and other files in most software).
I would start by reading the manual pages for the sane project and the
various backends.
Try "man sane" and read to the end, there in the "See Also" section
you will find more man pages. Some URLs are also in there for
reference.

SANE is a scanner project, not a printer project (that would be
gutenprint or some other project).
/../
If you read the instructions, you will see that using configure with
BACKENDS= will create backends just for the
listed backends.
This might be useful to put in the readme, but people should also read
the general manual pages, the readme is not a substitute for them.

Yes, I have read the README file inside and found the place you mentioned:

Hello,
Are you really reading any of the documentation? This is not IRC, so
you can't expect a loose conversation.
There is no such backend. Please read the documentation and the README
files to find out what you need to compile.

My apologies, from your messages it was not clear to me that you had
written a driver.
In that case, what you want to do is integrate your driver in SANE backends?
However, there is already a driver for this scanner family (MG3600),
so how about if you test that instead first?
It is the pixma backend, so you can just compile that backend, and
test, reporting how especially the high-resolution scans work (above
600 dpi, do you get proper image, or if not, how it looks).

[Susmita/Rajib Bandopadhyay]

according to direction in the file, I went to and downloaded the two
files from http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/

I unZipped the files to two separate folders and tried to run:
/.configure
make && sudo make install

These don't work. The frontend says about gtk:

Hi Rajib,

You don't need to install Sane frontends. You can use scanimage from the
backends installation or any other frontend, e.g. xsane.

Rolf

Re: [sane-devel] I want to test the Sane backend for Canon Pixma MG3670 Multi-functional Scanner-Printer I have

[Susmita/Rajib Bandopadhyay]

Hello, Sir!
Hope you won't be irritated of my naivety.

knoppix@Microknoppix$ scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22; backend version 1.0.22

Then I did the following after downloading sane-backend from:
knoppix@Microknoppix$ git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git

Then I did:
knoppix@Microknoppix$ whereis scanimage
scanimage: /usr/bin/scanimage /usr/bin/X11/scanimage
/usr/local/bin/scanimage /usr/share/man/man1/scanimage.1.gz

Then I went inside of the downloaded sane-backend directory and did:
knoppix@Microknoppix:~/Downloads/sane-backends$ make && sudo make install
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

I repeated and found the same result even in su.

Although there are makefile.in and makefile.am.

What do I need to do?

I hope I am not irritating you.

Regards,
Rajib

Re: [sane-devel] I want to test the Sane backend for Canon Pixma MG3670 Multi-functional Scanner-Printer I have

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi Rajib,

First please check the used Sane version on the command line (in a
terminal window):
$ scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.26git; backend version 1.0.26

The shown versions must be minimum 1.0.25. Otherwise you must install
Sane from git as described in README.linux:
http://www.sane-project.org/docs.html , chapter "Step by step install on
Linux 2.6.* and 3.*".

If you have a suitable Sane version, you can start scanning via the USB
interface with a frontend of your choice: scanimage, xsane, ... Please
disable all Ethernet and WiFi connections to your printer/scanner device!!!

To get some debug information, please enable this on the command line with:
$ export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=4

You may read the man page ($ man sane-pixma) for details.

Please also start a gui frontend from the command line (the same
terminal window), e.g. xsane:
$ xsane

Then you'll see the debug output in the terminal window beside the xsane
windows.

Your scanner should scan pages up to 600dpi out of the box. What's about
scanning @ 1200dpi? You may see your image double beside each other.

Please report your results.

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Rolf
