|
|
<P>
|
|
During the last six months or so (i.e. since ditching Windows as my
|
|
<BR>
|
|
principal OS) I have attempted to find information regarding the use of
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Canon USB scanners (specifically the model I own, the FB630U).
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I got this response (below) from a Canon UK employee a few months ago, and
|
|
<BR>
|
|
he recently telephoned me to inform me that Canon UK was trying to put
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Linux support on their (international) corporate agenda. I got the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
impression that their priority was with printers before scanners and that
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the proposed support would be (not unexpectedly) in the form of a binary
|
|
<BR>
|
|
package.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I proceeded to discuss the merits of open source drivers and defended my
|
|
<BR>
|
|
opinion that releasing programming specs hardly constituted an invitation
|
|
<BR>
|
|
for industrial espionage, to which he seemed to broadly agree with, even
|
|
<BR>
|
|
if his managers didn't.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Perhaps someone could tell me if any other efforts are underway to prise
|
|
<BR>
|
|
information and/or drivers out of Canon, or point me in the right
|
|
<BR>
|
|
direction as to how to take things further (I'm quite prepared to take the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Canon USB issue on myself). Perhaps a petition would be in order?
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Regards,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<PRE>

<P>Dear Mr Heywood,
|
|
<P>Thank you for your enquiry regarding Canon scanners and Linux drivers.
|
|
<P>We would advise you to contact Canon Europa for further details relating
|
|
to Linux drivers as they currently operate Developer's Programmes for
|
|
other Canon product ranges.
|
|
<P>We will however look into the matter for you. The Scanner Product
|
|
Specialist will seek to obtain more information on this matter and
|
|
contact you in due course with his findings.
|
|
<P>We hope that this information has helped to resolve your enquiry.
|
|
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance.
|
|
<P>Yours sincerely
|
|
<P>Matt Giordano
