[sane-devel] Epson Perfection 3590

[Ulrich Deiters]

I just downloaded the CVS-version of the snapscan backend and tested it.
It works (for the flatbed part of the scanner)!

The only thing that needs correction is the list of resolutions, which
at present is

Options specific to device `snapscan:libusb:004:002':
  Scan Mode:
    --resolution 
auto||150|200|240|266|300|350|360|400|600|720|800|1200|2400|3200|0|10|50|
75|100|150|200|300|400|600|1200|2400|0|0|0|0|0|10|50|75|100|150|200|300|
400|600|800|1600|0|0|0|0|0|10|50|75dpi [300]
        Sets the resolution of the scanned image.

This is probably not what was intended. :-)

I did this test after an upgrade to SuSE Linux 10.0. Perhaps somebody
would like to know what was necessary to get the scanner going (again):

1. Updated SuSE 9.3 --> 10.0.
2. Updated my SANE backend files from CVS.
3. Ran ./configure --prefix=/usr again (because of some change in the
   gcc libraries.
4. make
5. make install (as root)
6. chmod 666 /proc/bus/usb/004/* (so that ordinary users can access the
   scanner)
7. cd /usr/lib/sane
   rm *.1 (because these links all point to the old version)
   ld *.so | xargs -i ln -s {}.1.0.16 {}.1

Step 7 should be superfluous, but evidently something makes my linker
prefer the *.so.1 libraries over the *.so ones. Perhaps this is a problem
of the configure script?
