Hi SANE developers and users,
<BR>
<P>I'm very pleased to announce the availability of a SANE backend for the
<BR>
Mustek 1200UB scanner. It's marked as an alpha version.
<BR>
<P>This driver was written by Mustek. It's based on SANE 1.0.3 and is
<BR>
released as a binary (Linux) RPM and source RPM. The source code is licensed
<BR>
under GPL (with the special SANE exception to allow linking to non-GPL
<BR>
programs). The driver is intended for the 1200UB CIS USB scanner. It
<BR>
probably won't work for other models (e.g. 1200USB, 1200CU, Bearpaw).
<BR>
<P>I couldn't test the RPMs themselves (because I use Debian and don't
<BR>
use RPM) but was able to extract the binaries (library) and source
<BR>
code with alien. I did only some quick tests and found no problems.
<BR>
Color, Gray and Lineart works as far I could test. The library should
<BR>
work with Linux 2.4.0test12 and 2.2.18. With the latter one, the
<BR>
vendor and model codes must be provided to the scanner module manually.
<BR>
I haven't tried to compile the backend yet nor tried to use it with
<BR>
FreeBSD or anything else.
<BR>
<P>I was able to contact the maintainer of the driver at Mustek and got
<BR>
some statements about the driver and Mustek's support of Linux. They
<BR>
will do their best to support Linux in future but maybe there won't be
<BR>
drivers for older products. The code should go into the SANE package
<BR>
after the quality of the code is increased.
<BR>
<P>I will stay in contact with the maintainer.
<BR>

<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
<BR>
<P><PRE>
