SANE: Backends (Drivers)

The following table summarizes the backends/drivers distributed with sane-backends-1.0.16, and the hardware or software they support.

This is only a summary! Please consult the manpages and the author-supplied webpages for more detailed (and usually important) information concerning each backend.

If you have new information or corrections, please file a bug report with as many details as possible. Also please tell us if your scanner isn't mentioned in this list at all.

For an explanation of the tables, see the legend.

There are tables for scanners, still cameras, video cameras, APIs, and meta backends.

Backend: gphoto2 (0.0)

Link(s): mailto:peter@fales-lorenz.net
Manual page: sane-gphoto2
Description: Multiple cameras supported by the gphoto2 libraries
Comment: The long-term plan is to support all the cameras supported by the gphoto2 libraries (currently over 140 models).
