I have released the next version of the updated fujitsu sane backend to my
personal website. http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/~anoah/fujitsu/
up7 is a minor update to the up6 version (which works pretty well):
- improved option handling, especially those pesky SANE_FIX mm lengths.
- updated scsi command function should avoid scanner busy errors
- all known hardware sensors and switches are exposed as options
- should be possible to attach a button monitor daemon
- a couple bugs fixed
- actually tested with a M3091DCd (mostly working other than color)
- most scanners should not incorrectly reverse colors now
outstanding issues:
- duplex still broken. not too hard to fix for later units.
- M3091/2 color mode broken
- no LUT upload code, required for brightness/contrast/gamma
- all IPC/Imprinter type options removed
- model-specific hard-coded overrides missing
if i can get the first two issues fixed soon, i intend to replace the
fujitsu backend with this code in time for the next sane backends release.
this means: I desperately need more beta testers! if you have access to
any fujitsu scanner, and can spare a few minutes to test, you can help
ensure that your equipment will continue to be supported by sane.
thanks for your patience, and any help you can give.
