<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I tried to download the source, and get editing. I am a competent programmer (was my fun time job for 3 years) but I've never worked with C or C++.</p>
<p>Got lost at trying to build an environment that supported debugging. Some error about a missing file when I attempted to compile.</p>
<p>My use case for the scanner is very simple. I just need a simple colour scan at a set dpi. Don't need any fancy features. (not sure if that helps or not)</p>
<p>Is anyone here capable of adding a device to the Avision driver? I can supply a ssh into a device connected to the scanner.</p>
<p>Any idea of how much this would cost?</p>
<p>Below is the initial call for help I sent out last week regarding the device</p>
<p>Thanks!<br /><br />Daniel Wilson<br />0468884549<br />daniel@pixelgrease.co</p>

<p>Hello all,<br /><br />Been trying to get a scanner with an avision scanner to work. The scanner name is "WorldCard Pro (Win/Mac)" <a href="http://www.penpowerinc.com/product.asp?sn=407" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.penpowerinc.com/product.asp?sn=407<br /></a><br />It's not listed as supported, but thought I might get lucky. My thinking was that if it's supported by Mac, it should work with linux. Tried specifying all sorts of values in<span> </span><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><span>/etc/sane.d/</span><span>avision.conf but nothing seemed to work.</span></span></p>
<p>Is there a way to add support to the existing avision backend?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
