primax: Thread: Hello

Hello

This is my first post, so I'll introduce myself. I'm Jim, an American living 
in Southern Germany. My wife (Hildegard) and I own a milk sheep farm close to 
the Czech Border. 

A few years ago I got a Primax "MM100" scanner from Media Markt in Straubing. 
Up until about a week ago I was only able to use it in Windows. You guys know 
the story. <G> Anyway I found your software on the 'net. Now I'm able 
(somewhat) to use it under Linux. 

First off, I found an error in the "Read Me". It says to run "./primax-scan" 
to use the program. This should be "./primax_scan". Minor, but a PIA when you 
are first starting out. 

I got two programs when I started out, 0.93beta3 and the Primaxgui. The 
driver is dated October 2000, and the Gui is dated June 2000. Are these the 
latest versions? If not, where can I find the latest? If so, is the project 
dead or what?

Thanks!

Hi jim,

I use de sane backend myself with a primax scanner and i am real happy with it.
You should check out this url: 

http://thor.prohosting.com/~chrordig/

It has a lot of news about the driver and how to use the CVS.

Have fun..

PS i can only scan max 210 x 250 mm with xsane and primax_server. 
 does any one know how to scan A4 ( 210 x 297 mm) ?

Could tell me more about how to find the software I need to run sane? Also 
what to do to get it running? IE big pictures, small words <G>

I looked at this site and it threw me into "The Primax Scanner Driver Project 
for Linux/UN*X" site.  I'll look at it some more, maybe I missed something.
