Daniel,
could you send me the output of
sane-find-scanner -q
for your SCSI scanners.


To the others:
If others have also SCSI scanners attached, I would like to get
this kind of output too - both the output of "lsscsi -c"
and of "sane-find-scanner -q".


For reason and background information, please see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=160899

If I want to create a HAL fdi file, I need the exact SCSI strings
for vendor and product.

But according to the sane-find-scanner.c sources
----------------------------------------------------------------------
printf ("found SCSI %s \"%s %s %s\" at %s\n",
  devtype < NELEMS (devtypes) ? devtypes[devtype] : "unknown device",
  vendor, product, version, devicename);
----------------------------------------------------------------------
there is no delimiter to seperate those strings
so that the "sane-find-scanner -q" output of Daniel's scanners
seems to be something like
----------------------------------------------------------------------
found SCSI scanner "UMAX Astra 1200S V2.9" at ...
found SCSI scanner "MICROTEK ScanMaker II 5.61" at ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and it seems that I have no chance to seperate the SCSI vendor
from the SCSI product from the SCSI version via a script :-(

Unfortunately even something like "scanimage -f '%v:%m'"
seems not to help because for my HP ScanJet 6200C I get
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# sane-find-scanner -q
found SCSI processor "HP C6270A 3846" at ...
# scanimage -f '%v:%m' ; echo
Hewlett-Packard:C6270A
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i.e. the vendor string in scanimage is not the SCSI vendor string :-(

Perhaps I should think about a sane-find-scanner enhancement
so that it prints the SCSI strings seperated when the "-v"
option is used?


Many Thanks and Kind Regards!
Johannes Meixner
