<P>
I did some more testing with the latest snapscan drivers on sourceforge
<BR>
and my Acer 640BU. Its probably of some interest to any USB user.
<BR>
<P>First off, I commited to CVS some minor updates needed to get USB fully
<BR>
working under sane-1.0.3. Hopefully, Sebastien will make a snapshot
<BR>
soon for easy download.
<BR>
<P>Here are some general tips I've found out. For USB support be sure and
<BR>
edit the snapscan-usb.h file as soon as possible to enable it.
<BR>
<P>cd sane-1.0.3/backend
<BR>
[edit snapscan-usb.h]
<BR>
touch snapscan.c
<BR>
cd ..
<BR>
make; make install
<BR>
<P>Touching the snapscan.c file is important or else the compiler will not
<BR>
know to look at the changes to snapscan-usb.h.
<BR>
<P>Next, modify the global snapscan.conf file and REMOVE any reference to
<BR>
/dev/scanner. Place a reference to /dev/usbscanner and make sure the
<BR>
/dev/usbscanner really exists in your /dev directory (under RedHat I
<BR>
made a symbolic link to /dev/usb/scanner0). Its best to remove any
<BR>
existance to /dev/scanner from sane config files and/or your /dev/
<BR>
directory. If you make a link from /dev/scanner to your usb device then
<BR>
things like xscanimage will always lock up since most of sane treats
<BR>
/dev/scanner like a scsi device without seeing if it really is first.
<BR>
<P>Lastly, DO NOT run scanimage or xscanimage from within the backend
<BR>
diretory or you'll be using a snapscan.conf file that will not contain
<BR>
your addition of /dev/usbscanner and will fail to scan. Thats just a
<BR>
gotcha that kept happening to me.
<BR>
<P>Thats about it.
<BR>
<P>With the current CVS software I can scan fine at 150, 300 dpi and
<BR>
preview modes on my Acer 640BU. 600 dpi will lock up before the scan of
<BR>
actual image data begins and not transfer any data. Haven't been able
<BR>
to debug it yet but it appears to be different from the bytes_expected
<BR>
problem Sebastien has overcome.
<BR>
