I've added support for buttons in hp3900 scanner in the same way avision
does (SVN server at sourceforge). So at least these scanners should work with
KScannerButtons:

- hp scanjet 3800 (3 buttons)

Possible Solution Canon Lide 20 noise-problem

Hi!
If still current:

In order to solve the problem with the noise in Canon Lide 20 on Linux (I'm using Debian):

Uninstall sane, xsane and libsane in Synaptic (package manager). 
Install libsane version 1.0.15-9 instead of the current default 1.0.18 version (you can find it here:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libsane). 
Then install sane again. Synaptic, as I understand, can only install sane version 1.0.14-1 after this
because of the dependencies with the older libsane version. That sane version seems to work! (in contrast
to sane version 1.0.18.)
Install xsane again in Synaptic and that's it. 
Don't forget to block the installed libsane 1.0.15-9 version and the sane 1.0.14-1 version in the
"package" menu, otherwise it will be replaced by an update with time.

Happy new year to all!

PS: The new Debian test version ("Etch") is just cool!

Sorry.

I meant to advise that I am running Ubuntu Dapper.

I am attempting to install iscan for an Epson PHOTO 4490.

When I run ./compile, I get the error message  /usr/lib/libjpeg.la: No such
file or directory

googling this problem found a post that libjpeg is in lib64, so I checked
to see if I have lib64 and I do.

So what to do?

This scanner has a Wolfson Micro WM8196 analog frontend, an ICSI
IC41LV16256-35K memory chip(256k 16bit words), LB1940 motor driver chip.

In fact, at least the things documented in genesys' datasheets are
identical.

Sane and HAL

Hi all,

a happy new year to you all!

I tried to become a bit more familiar with HAL
(http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal) and I think that this
is a project that Sane should support. And no, it will not create
any compatibility problems, as feared by some colleagues during the
short discussion in December last year.

As I understand it, HAL is mainly a daemon that manages a
list/database of hardware resources, monitors hotplugging, and
provides mechanisms for device configuration and other things like
automatic launch of an application, if a certain device is
detected/plugged in.

The minimum we can (and IMO should) do is to provide an XML file (or
".fdi file" in HAL terminology) that describes the scanners
supported by Sane, and optionally the unsupported scanners. The fdi
file contains information like scanner vendor/model name, interface
type (USB/SCSI/parport...), Sane backend(s) for the device, and
"unique device information", like USB vendor/product ID or the SCSI
vendor/product strings.

This file can be easily generated from our *.desc files. Right now,
the latter contain already all required information for USB
scanners; for the SCSI interface, we would need to add the keyword
:scsiid; an entry for this keyword should look like

:scsiid "SHARP" "JX250 SCSI"

Ignore.  I have worked my way through this down to the point that the only
file left, I think, is libesmod.so.1, and I can not find it.  It appears to
be a sane file.
