working on Canon's FARE (IR, infra-red, mode to remove dirt from photos automatically), although SANE currently has no support for such in front-ends, I heard last night that development code has some support for this, so we are working on uncovering exactly how the scanner does its work and maybe implement 'pretty soon'.4800x9600dpi not implemented since it requires a x-direction interpolation to deliver final 9600x9600 square pixels.currently perfectly working: paper, negative, positive (slide) scans, including CCD calibration 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800dpi.Got basic review back last night, need to check several things for the reviewer and get back to him (that is Nicolas Martin, who has done an absolutely outstanding job with the pixma backends for Canon scanners and all-in-ones, supporting six different protocols with a minimum of files).Tobox wrote:Can you please update this thread when the code is available in CVS and when pre-build debian packages exist?

And then your message popped upĬan you please update this thread when the code is available in CVS and when pre-build debian packages exist? I can't wait to try it out!Īre you interested in a small donation? Are you located in Germany? Incidently, I have searched for updates on the '8800F on linux' yesterday, without any hope, because I have been looking every 6 month or so. If sane supports the 8800F, I will be more than happy to dump the scanner-vmware It worked, but it was ugly, because the frontend programs on windows are different for each scanner manufacturer - and I have not seen a good one yet. But since the scanner is acually a very good one, I setup a windows vmware just to use the scanner. Thank you very much for putting all this effort into the driver! I bought the 8800F because I needed a good negative and dia scanner, knowing that no linux drivers were available. Alternatively, users might have to download a CVS version of SANE after the modified pixma files are uploaded there at around that time (the code is undergoing review now). The modifications should with some luck be available in the next release of SANE towards the end of April 2010.
