The hp5400 backend works ok with sane 1.0.11. The main functionality it=20 misses, is the 2400 dpi scan. We have not been working on it for one mont= h=20 due to lack a of spare time.
SANE API I did not follow the changes that were made to the SANE API, if they exis= t, so=20 I don't know what the behaviour of the backend could be with 1.0.12 Transport protocol The last point I think of is that the communication with the scanner is m= ade=20 only through ioctl() function. To be SANE compliant, I suppose it would n= eed=20 to have more options than this one. I suppose this should not be a lot of= =20 work, but it is still too much for my own agenda. If someone would have time to integrate it into sane, it would be nice.=20 Integration would consist in : * port hp5400 Makefile into SANE compilation structure * verify hp5400 API is correct for SANE * support of others transport protocol=20 The latest source code is accessible via cvs at sourceforge : cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hp5400backend login= =20 cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hp5400backend co =20 hp5400/hp5400 I would be very pleased if someone would help us for the integration of t= he=20 hp5400 backend. Thank you, Thomas.
