Hello, I currently use Sane 1.0.9, and when I enable all backends it takes a long time to run scanimage -L I ran Xsane with sane_debug_dll=128, and I experienced long timeouts with these backends:
snapscan: 9 seconds plustek: 15 seconds dc210: 11 seconds dc25: 30 seconds At the moment I don't have any scanners attached. I use Mandrake's rpm, which also has the viceo backend, plustek 0.45, primaxscan 1.1beta1, hp4200 0.3 and testtool 20021120_1 patched into it. Probably I should just run debugging on the backends mentioned on top, and report that, right? The easy fix ofcourse is to only enable the backend I use myself, but that's just a solution for myself. It shouldn't take this long to do a scan for scanners. Would it be an idea to run a first scan, checking if there are usb or scsi devices, and if there's for example no usb device, that backends will not scan for an usb scanner, only for scsi or parport. This might speed up scanning in a more general way. Or maybe running sane-find-scanner first. If that doesn't find a scanner, then there's no use scanning with the backends. Or am I wrong on that one? Greetings, -- Marcel Pol
