Hi, I have written a driver for network scanning using a Dell 1600n MFP. It is implemented as a perl script and can be found here: http://www.jon.demon.co.uk/dell1600n-net-scan/
I am currently in the process of figuring out how to write an equivalent SANE backend. I have a couple of problems: 1. Hopefully trivial: I have written a dummy backend and sym-linked it to /usr/lib/sane/libsane-dell1600n-net.so. How can I get a SANE frontend to find it? 2. The Dell 1600n sends data back in CCITT Fax Group 4 or JPEG formats (for monochrome or colour scans respectively). To convert this to an array of RGB data will require converstion via an external library (eg: libjpeg). Is this extra link dependency acceptable for the SANE backends build? cheers, Jon ====================== Jon Chambers ===================== http://www.jon.demon.co.uk, 020 8575 7097, 07969 956575 =========================================================
