Hi,<br><br>
I have followed the indications from this site to recompile the backends:<br>

<trying to find out which USB chip is used><br>
checking for GL84x ...<br>
<This USB chip looks like a <b>GL842</b> (result from sane-backends 1.0.21)><br>
found USB scanner (vendor=0x1dcc [Document Capture Technologies Inc.],
product=0x4817 [SimpleScan], chip=GL842) at libusb:002:004<br><br><br><br>With the above information I found several possible compatible scanners with chip GL841, even though this scanner has GL842 and it is not supported.<br>
<br> /* GL841 devices */<br> {0x04a7, 0x0474, &visioneer_xp300_model},<br> {0x04a7, 0x0494, &visioneer_roadwarrior_model},<br> {0x04a7, 0x049b, &visioneer_xp100_r3_model},<br> {0x04a7, 0x04ac, &xerox_travelscanner_model},<br>

{0x0a82, 0x4800, &syscan_docketport_485_model},<br> {0x0a82, 0x4802, &syscan_docketport_465_model},<br> {0x0a82, 0x4803, &syscan_docketport_665_model},<br> {0x0a82, 0x480c, &syscan_docketport_685_model},<br>
{0x1dcc, 0x4810, &dct_docketport_487_model},<br> {0x1dcc, 0x4812, &syscan_docketport_467_model},<br><br><br>I have tried with all the docketport and the scanner is recognized only by those with the same vendor id 0x1dcc:<br>
<br>//Different vendor id (for example 0x0a82, 0x4802, &syscan_docketport_465_model)<br>scanimage -L<br> No scanners were identified.<br><br>//Same vendor id: 0x1dcc<br>scanimage -L<br> device `genesys:libusb:002:007' is a DCT DocketPORT 487 flatbed scanner<br>
<br>But I get a warning and the scanner finally crashes:<br><br> scanimage >image.pnm<br> [genesys] WARNING: Your scanner is not fully supported or at least <br> [genesys] had only limited testing. Please be careful and <br>
[genesys] report any failure/success to <br> [genesys] <a href="mailto:sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org">sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org</a>. Please provide as many<br> [genesys] details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your<br>
[genesys] scanner and what does (not) work.<br> ...<br><br>Only Docketport 467 worked and it got to scan, however the image was completely black and when I tried to scan again the scanner wasn't recognized any longer.<br>
<br>I will do some more tests with this model and I have also contact the manufacturer just in case they have a linux driver available. If I finally get it to scan I will post it.<br><br>Thanks for your help! :)<br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div><div><div></div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>Hi,<br><br>I'm trying to get to work scanner DocketPORT 468. <br>I already know it is not supported and I have found no discussions related, however I'm giving it a try as the genesys backend provides support for scanners based on the Genesys Logic GL646 and GL841 chips and I have read in a discussion that GL842 is essentially the same as the GL841.<br>
<br>My OS is: Linux version 2.6.35-28-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) )<br><br>I have (sane-backends) 1.0.21; backend version 1.0.21.<br><br>When connecting the scanner I get:<br>
