Hi folks,<br>
<p>
in sane-hp(1):<br>
<p>
If you own a ScanJet scanner other than the ones listed<br>
above, please let us know if your model works with this<br>
backend. To do this, send a mail with the relevant infor-<br>
mation for your scanner to <a href="mailto:sane-devel@mostang.com">sane-devel@mostang.com</a>.<br>
<p>
I tried to set up a HP ScanJet 5100C. It has a parallel port<br>
interface, with an internal EPST (SCSI adapter) chip. I used Grant R.<br>
Guenther's linux EPST kernel module (<a href="ftp://ftp.torque.net/pub/epst.c">ftp://ftp.torque.net/pub/epst.c</a>),<br>
which I hacked in a couple of places to stop it timing out from the<br>
scanner's slow responses. I now get no error messages from the driver<br>
(e.g. through dmesg), however xscanimage is still not 100% : it thinks<br>
everything is okay, however the images that come out (preview or<br>
otherwise) are about 50% good, interspersed with rows of garbage about<br>
50 pixels high or so. scanimage, on the other hand, outputs some<br>
garbage (about the same size as the xscanimage garbage chunks) and then<br>
dies in a bus error. I could send you a core file from this ... or even<br>
look into it myself if I get around to it.<br>
<p>
...But I understand the difficulty in supporting something you don't<br>
own one of and something that relies on an alpha version kernel module...<br>
