Hi,<br>
<p>
I'm new to this list, so this may be a simple and obvious list of questions.<br>
I'm busy adding support for RICOH scanners in the NetBSD code (pint).<br>
I'm close to finishing it (at least for my own scanner, a RS-632 aka <br>
RICOH-IS60, on which I can test my code). It should eventually work for:<br>
<p>
Ricoh IS50, IS60, FS1 and IS410 scanners. And might work relatively ok<br>
for scanners that stick to the scsi-scanner standard relatively well.<br>
<p>
I've got a couple of questions:<br>
<p>
1. How do I send in little patches for SANE to support these scanners<br>
(it only needs to recognize some ID-strings).<br>
<p>
2. Are there people out there, that have a Ricoh scanner and are willing<br>
to test my code on NetBSD?<br>
<p>
3. I'm considering to start working on a proper SANE backend for Ricoh<br>
scanners, when I finish the PINT code. Could you give me some pointers<br>
to information I need to write a SANE backend, and in addition give<br>
me an indication on how much work that would be?<br>
<p>
4. If anybody has technical information on Ricoh scanners (that's outside<br>
the SCSI standard) not covered by a NDA, I'd really like to know about<br>
it. I askedd Ricoh for info, but they require to sign an NDA which'll<br>
prohibit free distribution of code I base on that info... So, I've<br>
followed the path of reverse-engineering and trial-and error and such<br>
(does anybody of you have the tools and skills to reverse-engineer<br>
a Win'95/NT TWAIN driver??? ;-} )<br>
<p>
Thanks for your patience and such...<br>
<p>
