Hello everybody, I recently purchased a Canon CanoScan LiDE 500F (not a 5000F). Trimmed out put of "sane-find-scanner -v -v" and the appropriate part of /proc/bus/usb/devices. The scanner seems to have a GL841 chipset. I have downloaded the cvs code for sane-backends and experimental trees. I have also scoured the mailing list for all posts relating to the development of support for this chipset. I have 2 questions - 1) Should I be looking at genesys or genesys-new? 2) What can I do to help? (I am happy to help write code, I do not have windows installed so I am no help when it comes to sniffing successful windows scans) I am eager to help with this effort and due to medical circumstances have alot of time on my hands, please put my meagre talents to use :) -- Nikolai Lusan ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ++ Weblog: http://lusan.id.au/~nikolai/blog ++ Webcam: http://lusan.id.au/~nikolai/webcam.html ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --=-wyTkDK7uOFW5k62GjnBL Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=devices Content-Type: text/plain; name=devices; charset=ANSI_X3.4-1968 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=04 Cnt=02 Dev#= 6 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.)
