Check out canonscanner.sourceforge.net. It contains two utilities (for
|
|
<BR>
|
|
FreeBSD from Iwasa Kazmi and some Linux code from me) that are meant for
|
|
<BR>
|
|
1220U. Perhaps you can adapt them to your scanner.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>The linux one should help you get the basic input-output going. (it is
|
|
<BR>
|
|
written from observing usb logs). The FreeBSD one is much cleaner and
|
|
<BR>
|
|
provides explanation for the parts of scanner USB protocol that I haven't
|
|
<BR>
|
|
figured out. However it uses a different way to access USB bus as it was
|
|
<BR>
|
|
meant for FreeBSD.
