The canon-backend (dated 1999.11.14) was made from a canon-backend of only
canoscan300 and 600
to modifiying for canoscan2700F by Manuel Panea who is user of
canoscan2700F.
But after that he did no maintenance of the canon-backend (dated 1999.11.14)
for canoscan2700F.
On the other hand a canon-backend in sane1.0.14 has been made by modifying
the canon-backend (dated 1999.11.14).
But the modification was for only canoscanFB620S and canoscan2710S.
In a word, the code of canoscanFB620S and canoscan2710S were added to the
code for canoscan2700F.
So, a new modification for canoscan2700F has not been done basically with
canon-backend in sane.
But as the code of canon-backend for canoscan2700F was changed by making a
mistake, we had the problem of focus with canoscan2700F, I think.
Your debug data;
*************************************************
[canon] >> execute_auto_focus
[canon] >> focus: mode='1', speed='1', AE='0', count='0'
[canon] >> sense_handler
[canon] canon_sense_handler(3, 0x401c0060, 0x8052e70)
[canon] sense buffer: f0 00 45 00 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00
[canon] sense data interpretation for SCSI-2 devices
[canon] sense category: illegal request
[canon] sense message: invalid field in CDB <====== This is the error
message.
[canon] << sense_handler
[canon] << execute_auto_focus
[canon] execute_auto_focus failed
[canon] do_focus: ... for unknown reasons
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument
[dll] sane_cancel(handle=0x8060230)
[canon] >> sane_cancel
[canon] << sane_cancel
*************************************************
In execute_auto_focus the data pattern will be wrong.
I think to begin with the way of this solution will be that we check if the
old version will be able to execute_auto_focus.
But I'm sorry.
Sane1.0.13 is able to execute_auto_focus of canoscan 2700F, isn't it?
If the problem is only in sane1.0.14, I think Ulrich's way will be good.
My way will be nonsense.
