Newer SANE Backend

Hi!

I just installed optware and sane-backend today on my DNS-323. Unfortunatly, my Canon Pixma MP190 does NOT work with the available SANE package. There exists a patch for SANE (google for it). So, is it possible that somebody can compile a recent version of SANE and make an updated ipkg for optware? Or, has somebody one available?

Thanks!

Yours, Thomas

Re: Newer SANE Backend

Hi!

Just more information :-)
It seems that the current CVS of SANE supports the MP190. The current build in optware does not:

root@Xera:/opt/lib/sane# sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1734 [MP190 series]) at libusb:001:002
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

But scanimage shots back...

root@Xera:/opt/lib/sane# export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11 && scanimage -T
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of pixma to 11.
[pixma] pixma version 0.14.3
[pixma] pixma_find_scanners() found 0 devices

Re: Newer SANE Backend

Patches to optware build recipe are welcome.
Start by reading http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/dns323 the "[Optional] How to cross build ipk" section.
"make sane-backends-ipk" should build the existing version.
Then look at make/sane-backends.mk and sources/sane-backends/

Re: Newer SANE Backend

Hi!

I tried, unfortunately my only linux box with a build environment has a stone aged Debian distro - and this seems to be too old (at least gettext is missing and no deb's are available). So, maybe somebody else can be so nice and update the sane-backend package? Would be incredible :-)

TIA, Thomas

Re: Newer SANE Backend

I just upgraded optware sane-backends from 1.0.19+cvs20080315 to 1.0.19+cvs20090424
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/9975
Please test when the ipkg gets to the feed (usually takes a couple of hours for the autobuilder to catch up)

Thanks for the update - I will try the ipkg as soon as I am back home. I am absolutely keen on testing it ;-)

Excellent. Some wiki page would help other people along.
