Handheld scanners will generally require a kernel-module, as most of them <br>
|
|
are using a proprietary Interface card. I am unsure, if the generic<br>
|
|
Mustec handheld scanner driver will be able to handle the newer (color)<br>
|
|
models, but here is a pointer for what to search :<br>

This driver should be found on any major Linux-site, probably best on sunsite.<br>
|

If the above driver doesn't work, it will probably be a good place to start<br>
|
|
from. It conforms to the Linux handscanner IOCTL interface standard which<br>
|
|
should be enough to describe these types of scanners.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
SANE support will be done using a LHIIS-to-SANE-bridge when I come around <br>
|
|
to it. This won't be hard, as the basic design idea behind LHIIS is the<br>
|
|
same as the one behind SANE (though the latter has a much improved<br>
|
|
implementation).<br>

;-) - the old story ... just like VESA - though VESA is a lot better ;-)<br>
