[sane-devel] Epson Perfection 3170 on 64 bit

[Kirk Reiser]

Hello Ingo: If the usb-scan logs are from a run on your 3170 scanner
then I would like a copy of the log as well please.

I have another question however probably not really addressing you
Ingo but the group in general.  Why are proprietary/binary code
drivers acceptable at all?  Is it because the job of debugging binary
code is to difficult or it's just easier to use it?  I honestly want
to know because it seems odd to me that folks would be happy using
something which isn't open on systems dedicated to openness.  Does the
usb-scan program not give a good enough description of what goes on to
be totally useful for cracking proprietary code?  Also is there open
source usb-scan programs available as well?  It seems obvious to me
this has gone on for a long time so my curiosity might be out of
place, I don't know.
