[sane-devel] sane-devel Digest, Vol 112, Issue 25

[Winni]

Hi Florian,

I had the same problem with my quite old Canonscan 650U.

Last year at the end of October the Sane/plustek group wanted to 
implement a newer version later than sane-backends-1.0.23 because this 
one is installed by default from the debian/ubuntu/mint repositories. 
Why the newer one were not implemented, I made that question, was not 
answered.

In short: I tried to recompile the latest backends but I failed and I 
gave it up. It was too hard for me to find out how to recompile, 
especially if you use different Debian derivates ( f.ex. Mint or 
Kubuntu), because of differnt rights policies.

My clumsy solution was to use WinXP on virtual box. Works fine and I 
have all the gimmics, but watch out: If you start with virtual box and 
how to implement f.ex. usb 2.0 etc. into it, it is another long story.

Cheers,
Winni
