plustek: Thread: PLUSTEK: Ganius CP-HR7X Slim - Fail - Help to get it working !!!

Hi All !

   I've tried to make my scanner "Genius ColorPage HR7X Slim" (USB) work on
linux with plustek backend, but without success.
   I'm using Mandrake 9.0 without updateds:
      Kernel 2.4.19-16mdk
      sane-backends-1.0.8-5mdk
      libsane1-devel-1.0.8-5mdk
      libsane1-1.0.8-5mdk

   I have already run "modprobe scanner" command and it was loaded
successfuly.
   My device is on /dev/usb/scanner0.
   And "sane-find-scanner" can find it properly, but scanimage seems to be
not able to comunicate with it.
   I'm sending attached a TEXT file with the most relevant commands and them
outputs (in debug mode). (scanimage with maximum debug messesnger enabled.)

   I know PHP develop language... but I know the basic of C/C++ and I want
to help the SANE project... (and if is possible, have my scanner working on
linux too ;) )

   What can I do to help you to get my scanner linux ready?
   How can I know the chip of my scanner? (to verify if is a LM9831/2/3
based USB scanners)

Cheers,
Ricardo Jr.

Hi Gerhard,

	I have opened my scanner and I saw that it really has a GL646USB
chip.

	I've found a PDF that seems to be a lot of tech information... but I
don't know if it has enough information to someone understand and build a
backend for that chip...
	Could you take a look on it to see if it has the necessary
information about it?
	Here is the link:
http://www.genesyslogic.com/pdf/gl646usb_r14.pdf

	By the way, could you send me the documentation of some USB chip
already supported by plustek?
	With the documentation of some chip, I pretend to get the source
code of plustek and try to understand it... Maybe I can learn to develop
backend drivers ;)

Thanks in advance,

Hi Ricardo,

at least you will find documentation for the LM983x chips
on the national homepages at www.national.com:
