<p><font face="Arial">Hello SANErs,</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">the Canon Pixma TS5150 is a pretty simple
inkjet-machine, providing printing, copying and scanning (no
FAX).</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">We are talking here just about the
WIFI-connection (cable should work).</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial">Canon, using a special protocol in the form
of bnjp://IP.address, provdes a proprietary software <i>scangearmp2</i>,
which is working, but is pretty rudimentary as well.</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">commercial software like <i>Vuescan</i> is
getting into contact immediately without any configuration</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">SANE - in its last versions - should be
able to handle the bjnp-protocol as well, unfortunately
doesn't in this case. You can make, what you want.</font></li>
</ul>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><font face="Arial">But there is a package <i>sane-airscan</i>,
which does the job, making available Xsane, Skanlite and all of
the other Opensource-frontends. Also without any further
configuration.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">So my question is: Shouldn't it be possible,
to integrate - </font><font face="Arial">or, at least, to use
its technology - <i>sane-airscan</i> into SANE to make machines
of that kind work directly out of the SANE-box? <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Thanks for your work and time</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Wolfram Heider<br>
