Re: [GTALUG] scanner under Windows under Linux?

[Evan Leibovitch via talk]

Hi all.

I have an earlier model, the CZUR Shine Ultra, bought through Indiegogo in
2020
.
What attracted me was the expedited book-digitization OCR software. I used
it a little but priorities have changed.
Being able to run it under Linux would be way cool. I will follow up in a
few weeks and see if I have any success ... but without the software it's
pretty ordinary.

This may not be a solution, or one you wee searching for, but there's a 
chance that the CZUR scanners are USB video devices. They might appear 
as a video camera to Linux. But you probably won't get the nice 
front-end that way. Worse still, I don't know of any v4l2 back-ends for 
SANE, so dealing with scans will be a lot of full-frame page images.


There's one report of using a CZUR scanner with Linux:

but it was from some years ago

Hugh,

   What kind of scanner are you using?   My Epson Perfection V350 and V550 are 
supported on GNU/Linux by Epson, although they have replaced iscan, which I 
really liked.  Now, I need to learn epsonscan2.  The program simple-scan does 
multi-page scans off my Epson printer.  I have seen Hewlett Packard 
printer/scanners work fine under Linux.

I just did a quick test using W10 in Boxes on Fedora with my Canon
printer/scanner connected. In Boxes Preferences/Devices & Shares/USB
Devices, I enabled the printer. Then I scanned into IrfanView. Some
weekend I'll give this a try with my 18x12 scanner which has been
unsupported for a number of years.

[GTALUG] scanner under Windows under Linux?

[D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk]

This message is also a test of the list.

CZUR makes interesting page scanners: 
We actually have a couple.

Until recently, all of their scanners' software only runs under Windows.
The latest one has support for Linux but is very expensive.

Can I easily run Window under Linux in a way that would drive these 
scanners?  I think that the Windows system would need control of the USB 
port to which the scanner is connected.

I seem to remember that long ago Sun/Oracle Virtual Box was the only 
VM that gave decent USB access to a virtual Windows.  I don't know the 
state of the art now.

Answering some of my questions (but not USB):
