<div style="" class="default-style"> Hi, <br>
I am trying to setup sane to use a canon CanoScan 3200F and was
directed to ask my question here from the IRC channel. I am
using a rasberry pi zero running Raspbian GNU/Linux 11
(bullseye) lite. I compiled sane from source. Output of
scanimage --version: <br>
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.32.227-5591; backend version
1.0.32. <br>
My scanner is recognized by lsusb and sane-find-scanner -v -v
also shows the scanner but complains "Couldn't determine the
type of the USB chip". Unfortunately scanimage -L cannot
identify any scanners. <br>
Following a post on the cent-os forums that had similar issues
that were resolved by installing the yum package
sane-backends-drivers-scanners for the user in question I tried
to look into whether I have the required backend drivers. The
sane documentation lists the scanner as unsupported but says in
the comments: "Actually this scanner is supported by the
experimental cs3200f backend now". <br>
I could not find any files in the backends folder of my clone of
the source code that contained the string cs3200f and I found an
old bug report from the sane-backends ubuntu package that seems
to confirm my fears about missing backends. It states: "However,
the experimental CVS wasn't transferred over when they [the sane
project] moved from CVS to git." <br>
Attached to this post was an email exchange from 2013 where
someone from the sane dev team supplied a backup of the
experimental backend and suggested a patch to
/backend/Makefile.am and /configure.in to allow its compilation.
<br>
Now this is where my attempts to resolve this myself kind of
end. The structure of the Makefile in question seems to have
changed too substantially since 2013 for someone with barely any
C knowledge like me to apply the relevant changes. <br>
So, my questions: Am I even on the right track? Am I missing the
cs3200f backend with my "naked" sane install from source? If not
is there any other way to run the canon CanoScan 3200f with
sane? <br>
Very happy about any and all feedback. <br>
Thank you and Best regards, <br>
Dario Klenke <br>

P.S. <br>
this is the email exchange i mentioned earlier: <a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-devel/2013-March/031124.html</a>

and this is the bug report from the ubuntu forums: <a

If you download the attachment here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/attachments/20130327/d616faed/attachment-0001.bin">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/attachments/20130327/d616faed/attachment-0001.bin</a>,<br>
...then rename the file to cs3200f.tar.gz you should find that it
contains the source you are looking for.<br>
<br>
I will have a look at it later in the day but in the meantime you
should be able to check it out.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
