Hi Wilhelm, Hi everyone, As promised, this is my post to confirm I completed the install of scanbd on Ubuntu with full support of all four buttons of an "EPSON Perfection V200 Photo" scanner.
To share my findings, I posted the whole procedure (2 posts) here: http://thehomeserverhandbook.com/2012/03/03/scanbd_part1/ which explains how to patch scanbd with an "EPSON V200" specific backend, compile and install it. http://thehomeserverhandbook.com/2012/03/18/scanbd_part2/ which explains scanbd configuration including a nice script offering the following functions: - Single page scan to JPEG - Instant copy (scan to printer) - Email creation with JPEG or multi-page PDF attachment - Multi-page PDF creation All this using only the scanner front buttons! Also included is a special udev rule allowing to start xinetd/scanbd when the scanner is turned on and stop them when the scanner is turned off. Enjoy! Emmanuel (PS: As Ubuntu seems to have replaced inetd/xinetd with upstart now, I would be glad to start scanbd using upstart. Thanks in advance to those who will help me.)
