<P><EM>&gt; Hi all microtek-scanner users,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I think I have done enough modifications to the microtek2-backend so it
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; could be included in SANE-1.0.5. But I would like if many people would
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; test it and tell me about the results.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the following scanners should be supported now additionally:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Phantom 330CX / 336CX / SlimScan C3 (parallelport)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Phantom 636CX (parallelport)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Scanmaker V6USL (USB)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ScanMaker E3 Plus (parallelport)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Scanport SQ300 (parallelport) (recognized as Phantom)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Please test the backend also with scanners that were working before. I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; changed a lot of things and perhaps I've broken something.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The backend can be downloaded at:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; <A HREF="http://home.t-online.de/home/karsten.festag">http://home.t-online.de/home/karsten.festag</A>
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The version from today (17.05.2001) is microtek2_20010517.tar.gz. If
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; there are newer ones, take the newest version.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<P>Hi,
<BR>
<P>I haven't found any problems for the Phantom 636cx with a quick test
<BR>
(lineart, gray8bit, gray12bit, colour8bit, colour12bit, both at 150dpi on
<BR>
a 10x15 cm format glossy photograph, placed excentrically on the glass).
<BR>
<P>Concerning the docs, I think also that it would be good to update the
<BR>
man-page. You coulde.g. list the parallelport and USB scanners working
<BR>
with this backend release.
<BR>
<P>Also, I've found (this is probably a different issue though) that when
<BR>
GNOME 1.4 is i18n-enabled with Hungarian as default locale (haven't tried
<BR>
with others), the option backend-calibration and no-backtrace don't appear
<BR>
in Xsane's extended options window (nor elsewhere). You could maybe put a
<BR>
short sentence into the manpage that one can experience strange problems
<BR>
when using (some?) locale(s). It took me some time to discover that the
<BR>
bug was caused by the localisation and not this specific backend release.
<BR>
<P>Finally, I propose to remove the line &quot;parallelport models unsupported&quot;
<BR>
at the SANE compatibility page. This was not really true even before, as
<BR>
several SCSI-over-parport scanners could be operated without image
<BR>
calibration even in Sane 1.0.1.
<BR>
<P>Levente
