<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good morning, and thank you all for this wonderful
piece of software!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been using sane for six years now, and
recently got some new hardware and will be using saned and the net backend
in the near future.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately i have some moderately annoying
problems with net/saned which i need help with, and a couple of feature requests
in case you need more to do :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The network should be fast enough to keep up with
the scanning speed, but still the scanner pauses a little between each page - as
if it is waiting for data to be transferred over the network before it decides
to start scanning the next page. When watching network activity, i see that
data is sent in bursts with a not-so-small delay between each
burst.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My completely novice assumption is that saned scans
one page, sends it to the net backend, scans next page, sends next page, and so
on. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>If this is the case; can saned instead
be configured to immediately start scanning next page and queue it for
transmission to the client, not waiting for the first page to complete its
journey over the network?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or is is some other problem, like saned compressing
data before transmission or something? And if that is the case, can i turn it
off?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- I have some sort of permission problem with
saned. I have a usb scanner which can not be accessed through saned,
even if i chown /proc/bus/usb/NNN/NNN to saned:saned. The only solution i
found so far is to run saned as root.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When running saned -d128 nothing useful is
reported, so i have no clue about what is causing this. Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Feature request: When looking for scanners (with
scanadf -L) saned only reports scanners not currently in use. It would be nice
to be able to see all attached scanners, perhaps with some indication if they
are being used right now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>- Feature request: It would be
nice to be able to ask a particular host about its scanners, like "scanadf
--L=myscannerhost.mydomain", not having to add it to net.conf
first.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- And last (and actually least): I use the fujitsu
backend, but with a FI-6130 scanner i get weird colors (RGB-BGR problem). I use
version 1.0.19, but perhaps this has been fixed in cvs?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best,
cheerfullest, looking-forward-to-next-relase-est regards</FONT></DIV>
