<EM>&gt; &gt; Please download the driver for Linux in following link.

<EM>&gt; I took a look at this. It seems acer has been modifying the snapscan
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; backend to support their new scanners. And since they have a better
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; knowledge of all the different models, the identification part seems
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to be cleaner. They even included the firmwares for each scanner...
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Since their code is based on sane I suppose it is all under the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GPL. So it could be integrated in the official sane. And on top of
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that we got the documentation for the protocol recently... I don't
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; have time to work on the backend yet, but I bet we could greatly
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; improve it with all that.
</EM><BR>
<P>Don't suppose. _Demand_! They modify GPL code, the mods are GPL. No
<BR>
supposing involved.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; On the other side, it shows that manufacturers are realizing that free
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; software is getting more and more popular since Acer used to not even
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; answer to messages concerning linux and now they contribute code for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; it. Great.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Sorry if you already knew that Acer was making available a &quot;backend?&quot; (I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; didn't find it in the sane/usb documention, links or mailing list archive)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; but for me this was a &quot;Finally I can use my scanner !&quot;.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Well I didn't know at least, so thanks to you for the info.
</EM><BR>
<P>This seems a pretty positive move, except they called their release sane
<BR>
1.0.4 clearly is not. Also, they have made no attempt to play nicely,
<BR>
cooperate, and get their changes into the mainstream code. I'd give them
<BR>
4/10, which is better than the -1/10 they got before.
<BR>
<P>Where have they made the protocol info available? I would find that
<BR>
quite interesting.
<BR>
<P>Regards,
<BR>
