Hello all,<br>
<br>
I have a Canon CanoScan D646U which is currently unsupported. It
is a flatbed scanner with a USB interface. I did try using the
canon630u backend but it didn't work (although perhaps there are
various configuration tricks which might make it work? I don't
know). Although I have no experience with scanners or with
writing device drivers in general, I do have a solid background in
programming and linux, and relish a good challenging problem, so I
(along with a friend) have been toying with the idea of writing a
backend, because, well, it would be cool. (= So I thought I would
first toss out this message to see what guidance anyone might have to
offer. Has anyone worked on this scanner already? Does
anyone have any guesses as to what writing a backend for this scanner
might entail? Is there any code I can likely reuse (e.g. the code
from the canon630u backend)? Any other help/advice/links to
useful information anyone has to offer?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
