primax: Thread: New version of pxscan

The pxscan-0.4 is now available from:

http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-25069/pxscan.html

New in this version is, faster data transfer,
better color control, B/W and grayscale scanning.

There has been no time to tidy up so it is still
messy, but far more readable than before. Lots
of redundant code has been deleted. Maybe this
can be of some help to those who try to modify
it for the 1200p model.

Thanks for all nice mails and good luck!

Hello Gustaf,

I tried pxscan-0.4 and got the following

mozart#cd pxscan-0.4/
mozart#make
gcc -O -c -g -Wall -I/usr/local/tiff-v3.4/libtiff/ pxscan.c
gcc -O -c -g -Wall -I/usr/local/tiff-v3.4/libtiff/ probe_lp.c
gcc -O -c -g -Wall -I/usr/local/tiff-v3.4/libtiff/ portio.c
portio.c: In function `epp_off':
portio.c:42: warning: implicit declaration of function `ioperm'
portio.c:43: warning: implicit declaration of function `iopl'
cc -ltiff -lm -O -g pxscan.o probe_lp.o portio.o -o pxscan

mozart#./pxscan -lon
Probing port 0378
    SPP port present
    PS/2 bidirectional port present
    EPP 1.9 with hardware direction protocol

ASIC: E3
scanner model reg= 1

Looks like a Primax Colorado Direct 9600
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The same message with:

mozart#./pxscan -loff

But it works nevertheless, i.e the lamp goes on and off.

mozart#./pxcsan -d 1x1 -n /tmp/pxscan_test.tif
pxscan version 0.4
Probing port 0378
    SPP port present
    PS/2 bidirectional port present
    EPP 1.9 with hardware direction protocol
mozart#

Scanning is also ok. So it seems it is only a nasty bug. Perhaps you have
an idea what is wrong or tell me how I can help you to find the bug. Has
it something to do with the warning I got at compile time?

Best regards,

Gerhard

ok ... so you can load the core and the binary into your debugger and 
find out where it crashed. ,-))

Gustaf, I'd be very glad if we could have the pxscan in the CVS, so 
there won't arise too many different versions of programs and others 
could correct found bugs directly without changing some code which 
isn't the current one, because you have some more current on your disk 
... maybe so it would also be possible to merge in the 600p driver by 
Peter Popovec...
