<i>&gt; &gt; I went through the canon.c backend code and noticed that within</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the canon backend, the device "/dev/scanner" was hard-coded in.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I will change this. So you can use a canon.conf file then.</i><br>

I would like to say that I am very confused here...<br>
<p>
How It is possible the Color apple scanner to work with the canon<br>
backend?<br>
<p>
I am the the author of apple backend and I had include support for<br>
-Apple Scanner (16 shades of Gray, Almost Full Support)<br>
-Apple One Scanner (256 shades of gray, preliminary support...)<br>
-Apple Color One Scanner (Color, only the hooks for the support)<br>
in the apple.c backend.<br>
<p>
My real problem was that I have documentation for all three scanners<br>
but I own only the first.<br>
<p>
Also The Apple Color Scanner interface is rather complicated to me.<br>
<p>
The question is how it is possible for canon.c to work with the apple<br>
scanners.<br>
<p>
Do they use the same chip/firmware or something ?<br>
<p>
Also some kind of administration would be usefull here in order to avoid<br>
code duplication.<br>
<p>
I do not have any problem to drop Apple Color Support as far as it is<br>
supported by another developer/backend.<br>
<p>
I would like to know because I will start coding in SANE again in one week~10<br>
days from now...<br>
