Hi, I wonder whether the scanjet 7650 will be supported by the sane project in the near future. My department aquired a bunch of these scanners but failed to check with me whether these devices were supported under linux. As far as I can tell, they're not supported. And I'm not really amused with our manager's suggestion to convert the boxes to windblows crippleware.

So nobody knows. But usually this means it's unsupported. Please send the output of "sane-find-scanner -v -v" when the scanner is plugged in. This way we can at least check if the chipset is supported by an existing backend. In this case adding support for the scanner may be relatively easy (theoretically). If the scanner uses a new (or unsupported) chipset, it's up to you to write a backend. So the timeframe completely depends on you :-) Bye, Henning
