[sane-devel] SANE automation setup?

Fri Nov 3 06:21:06 UTC 2017

Please post the full log, so that one can see the names of all options.
If the scanner supports a button (option) we will see the name of the
option in the log. Then one can adapt the config file to match the
option name and call a scan-script.
