Dear Jeremy But be assured that I know Sane since a very long time (have a look at my sane frontend Tame/2 for OS/2, anybody remebers ? It was the first and only OS/2 scanning application supporting USB thanks to Maeda Haruyuki- a japanese developer). I remember debugging sessions with Osaka (where Maeda lived) and Lithuania (where the OS/2 USB-Stack developers worked) to get it running.
Even a longer time I have linux experiences (starting with DLD-Linux 2.0 in the early ninties) and a quite long ubuntu experience (6.06 for private use and since 7.04 my whole company is equipped with ubuntu on currently > 40 desktops ). Scanning was always a nightmare and adventure (e.g. I support a lawyers company who uses Ubuntu in Virtual Box for only one reason: their Scanner is no longer supported by windows) To make it short: It would be great if Ubuntu could continue to support scanners like it did in the past. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728012 Title: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
