Hi
Im writing the sane backend for Primax scanners.
And I need some help.
A short desciption waht is planed:
The sane backend is not the scanner driver, its just a client.
The server talks to the scanner.
The server:
It reads the data from the scanner and writes ist in raw format to a file.
the client can read it from there.
For making it work, there are some thing to do:
1. clean up the primaxscan code. the scanner control code must be seperated
from the output code (tiff/raw).
2. a clean makefile is needed for compiling the sane backend. I'm not good in
writing makefiles. Who can help?
3. The server shall read the settings from a config file and save them there.
I think this is quiet easy to do with fprintf() and fscanf(). Could anyone
write some functions for this.
settings to save and read are:
int timeout
int warmup
int speed
int nice_level
char[100] password // for accessing the advanced options of the server
calibration data // this maybe better n another file.
If anyone reading this has enough time to do it....
PS: I hope the source code will reach a ftp or cvs server.
Bye
Andre
