Hello everyone ...<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I assume this is a FAQ, but I just joined the list, and ...<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I am interested in developing a backend for my Trust EC9600P parallel port<br>
|
|||
|
|
scanner, and requested programmers information from the manufacturer.<br>
|
|||
|
|
Unfortunately, they are unwilling to provide this information, considering<br>
|
|||
|
|
it confidential.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I guess this was to be expected, but apart from telling them what a fine API<br>
|
|||
|
|
SANE is, which I already did, are there any arguments I could use to try to<br>
|
|||
|
|
persuade them? That is, have (some of) the other backends been developped in<br>
|
|||
|
|
cooperation with manufacturers, if only by them releasing the specs on<br>
|
|||
|
|
request?<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Failing to convince them, is trying to "reverse engineer" the Windows<br>
|
|||
|
|
drivers the way to go? Would such have any effect on being able to<br>
|
|||
|
|
distribute the backend?<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Thanks in advance for any pointers on how to proceed...<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Regards.<br>
