	Using a new backend with an old sane by Christophe Gaubert :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi every one, I'm asking a question for someone else who owns a HP scanjet 4400C. The backend rts8891 is very recent and isn't included in any version of our linux distribution (Mandriva). In the FAQ, I see it's possible to compile only one backend : http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#44 But is it possible to use it with an older version of sane (1.0.19) ? Maybe copying the involved files under /usr/lib/sane where the other backends are ? In my distribution, I see there is also a bunch of files under /etc/sane.d. Maybe there's one file to put there ? Thanks for your help. I hope my idea isn't too crazy ^^ -- Christophe Gaubert -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@... http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-request@...

BTW- sane 1.0.20 is more than 4 months old, what is your distro waiting for? :) allan On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 6:25 PM, Christophe Gaubert <christophe.gaubert@...> wrote: > Hi every one, > > I'm asking a question for someone else who owns a HP scanjet 4400C. > > The backend rts8891 is very recent and isn't included in any version of > our linux distribution (Mandriva). > > In the FAQ, I see it's possible to compile only one backend : > http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#44 > > But is it possible to use it with an older version of sane (1.0.19) ? > Maybe copying the involved files under /usr/lib/sane where the other > backends are ? > > In my distribution, I see there is also a bunch of files > under /etc/sane.d.

Oh wait, I see that the last iteration of sane-bakends-1.0.19 contains a file "hp_rts88xx.conf". Since I have searched rts8891, I hadn't seen it the first time. I will go ask to packagers if it's the good one. Maybe they add new backends to sane 1.0.19. -- Christophe Gaubert -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@... http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-request@...

Hello, there is no hp_rts88xx.conf in unpatched SANE sources. But there is an external backend with this name that can only do 300/600 dpi gray scans: http://hp44x0backend.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Stef -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@... http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-request@...

Hello, I meant that there was an external backend which has been superseded by the rts8891 backend. The rts8891 backend is part of SANE 1.0.20. What I found intriguing is that you have some conf file coming from this external backend laying around.

Maybe packagers of my distro have patched SANE with this external backend...

The "old" sane 1.0.19 use now the new backend through symbolic links and "my" newbie is happy :-) (and me too, of course ^^) -- Christophe Gaubert -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@... http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-request@...
