Hello,
for someone from your company I've been waiting for a long time.
Firstly, do you know that a scanner driver for Linux is a two level affair ?
There's a logical driver and a physical driver.
The logical driver is a SANE backend. You posted on SANE's list.
If the SANE people need help they'll doubtlessly fill your mailbox.
Then there's the physical driver. That's part of the kernel.
In the past this was a generic SCSI driver.
As you started making USB scanners, this is no longer true.
By the way do you do in firewire, too ?
If you are talking USB, you need to talk to me.
Current status might be interresting to you.
X6 basically works, but is buggy.
No other USB scanner you make is known to
work. In fact two models are known not to work.
I need documentation and a way to do testing on
several types.
Please contact me.
Regards
Oliver Neukum
maintainer of the Microtek USB scanner kernel driver
