2004-01-15 16:39:49 | We have two testers for the HP54** scanners now, this seems sufficient, (as both can deliver informations based on 'known as good' chipsets/OS/2 installations) and at least one seems skilfulled enough. Unfortunately that is the backend which is on linux in alpha-stage too.
Situation with snapscan backend (who is more stable) is a little different -having not a supported model - we not even found out till now the proper way to load the necessary firmware (does it need slashes or backslashes in snapscan.conf ?, does it need driveletter or not, just as examples) although we have two testers who are quite willing but ... as most of you know sometimes thats not enough.
Nad naturally transfering informations between different languages (english, german, japanese ...) with broken-english as lingua franca doesn't ease things.
But we gonna see, Maeda Haruyuki told he soon wants to make new debug-builds based on the already gathered informations, and with some luck we get some steps further.
BTW. As I'm asked this quite often: porting of Sane backends depends that they compile with Vac++ (e.g. the plustek on which many USB scanners rely, does currently not). |

For SCSI scanners situation is different. there GCC can be used for porting (buillds are done by Franz Bakan not Maeda Haruyuki). Therefore any SCSI scanner who is reported to work with Sane (see the Sane homepage for a complete list) should work - see english.inf in Tame/2 how to add missing scanners to Tame/2. If not there is a bug in backend and you may contact either me or Franz Bakan. PP - scanners is again different, all those who don't require any additional SCSI over PP driver (which is not available for OS/2) should work, those who require SCSI over PP definetly not (as long not anybody writes an SCSI over PP driver for OS/2, there are only some proprietary which don't work for scanners and each must be written for specific chipset). |
