[SLUG] A Driver for a Scanner.
I was given an Agfa 1212p Snapscan. Without a power supply. So, first off, can anybody confirm that this unit requires 16V DC to supply approx 0.9-1.0 amp? Which I will make. No problems thus far. The driver for this unit, however, is something else. It appears (from a search of the Web) that Agfa do not greatly care for Linux, to the extent that they will not release any information whereby a driver could be written. I have a feeling that someone was trying to reverse engineer a driver, although this would probably be a time-consuming project. Does anyone know whether a driver for this unit exists? If ir doesnt, I may have to conect it to a Windows machine. And I don't want that. Any help etc., Regards, Bill Bennett. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I have a USB version of the same scanner, and my power adapter died. I can indeed confirm this, and also confirm how much of a PITA it is when no one stocks one - I have just been looking in the last two days! Which I will make. No problems thus far. Um... What are the chances of making two? :-) I would happily pay for your services. :-) The driver for this unit, however, is something else. While the kernel side of things was usbscanner.o (which worked okay), you are better off using the libusb user-space support for it that comes with xsane. Indeed, usbscanner has been removed from the 2.6 kernels because the user-space support is so much saner (mind the pun). :-) Thanks, - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norwayhttp://2004.guadec.org/ I believe in true love.

[SLUG] Another Cool Firewall Tool: firehol
Hey hey, Here's a nice tool that sits in between filtergen and shorewall on the features and complexity continuum. Might be a good option for simple home gateways, or easy-to-generate server protection rules - places where shorewall would work, but might be a bit overcomplicated or too detailed. http://firehol.sourceforge.net/ Cute! - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norwayhttp://2004.guadec.org/ No clue is good clue. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I use j2re1.4.2_03, I could dump the java console error if so requested. Jaime mentioned something about it being offline for maintenance this weekend, although it's silly that they don't have a page to say so. Hmm -- I'm still having problems after the so-called maintenance on all my Linux machines today (Monday - 11am). I was doing an upgrade of Mozilla/Java on the main banking machine too, which caused me great uncertainty when I couldn't use the banking on Saturday, but then discovered on my own desktop (which I hadn't performed any Java/Mozilla changes on), that banking wasn't working either. I get an Applet IBANK notinited error with a lovely red cross, and then Java applet failed, or some similar error message. Is this what others are getting? Would be nice to know it's not just me :-) Tried to speak to St George to find out the extent of changes over the weekend, spoke to Julia (I believe) but as soon as I mentioned Linux she pulled out the We don't support Linux drawcard, however, she was a little helpful after that, saying that the changes were not major. Some features were added, but not to the front-end (apparently). I even reverted the office PC to what I had working before (j2re1.4.1 + Mozilla Firebird 0.7), but the same problem occurs :-( .. On a side note, this morning we were having random issues with a Windows 2000 machine with their internet banking, whilst able to login, it randomly got an unable to contact bank server error and logged out again. Seemed to be okay when I was on the phone to them though unfortunately. But this seems to be a different problem to the Linux notinited problem.

Re: [SLUG] A Driver for a Scanner.
Dick Smith Jaycar do 1A plugpacks. Ortherwise I would try an old notebook p/s as most are around 18v, which would be near enough. Watch the polarity, as there is no standard on those DC power connectors. regards Doug On Mon, 16 Feb 2004 05:09 pm, Jeff Waugh wrote: quote who=Bill Bennett I was given an Agfa 1212p Snapscan.
