[sane-devel] Error in sane_read(...) HP ScanJet 6200C/6250C

[Mohit Kumar]

Hi All,

Sorry for writing so many mails to this group, but I am not able to
scan through my scanner and hence getting delayed.

Now my sane_read has stopped functioning. I mean sometimes it works
sometimes it just hangs and we need to stop the application. I have no
clue what is happening.

Here is the code :
f(gData->m_nBitsPerPixel =3D=3D 1 || gData->m_nBitsPerPixel =3D=3D 8)
=09=09=09{
=09=09=09=09unsigned char buf8[2*32768];
=09=09=09=09unsigned char* buf8ptr;
=09=09=09=09int len;
=09=09=09=09SANE_Status status =3D sane_read(CSane::handle, (SANE_Byte*)buf=
8,
sizeof(buf8),&len);
=09=09=09=09if(!len)
=09=09=09=09=09return false;
=09=09=09=09gData->m_pBuffer =3D (unsigned char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*len);
}

And the debugger output:

[hp] sanei_hp_optset_scan_type: scantype=3D0

Any help in this regard would be appreciated because I am not able to
understand why does it work sometimes but not other times.

Thanks,
Mohit
