scanning - problems with speckle on white / black areas

PaulN — Sun, 07 Sep 2014 15:00:12 -0000

There was a bug in kodakaio that caused speckle on areas of strong colour or no colour.
This is fixed in kodakaio 2.5.1 (now in the git version of sane-backends and should eventually be in the official release of sane-backends 1.0.25)

c2esp27

This is the proper release of version 2.7
It is identical to c2esp27~rc3 apart from the name

c2esp27~rc3

rc3 is the same as rc2 with some tidying to reduce the number of compiler warnings

Check your distro does not have c2esp or kodakaio before you download

Several distros (eg Debian, Ubuntu) now include these packages, or they are available to install in the repositories.
Generally it's easier to get the distro's version to work than to install a download from this site.

For scanning I strongly reccommend that you get the latest version from git, not the older version here.

I found some bugs so c2esp21~rc2 may now work with colour
Let me know what happens

Ubuntu 11.10 now includes c2esp (not the version for the Cxxx printers)

I have been working on a significantly different version of this driver with dithering which improves the appearance of photos significantly. But I have a lot of problems getting it to work with large pictures.

So I may release an interim version to fix the bugs: missing top and bottom, red being rather orange, change to help compiling in fedora, and 6x4 photo paper problem.

Release 08

PaulN — Sun, 09 May 2010 14:20:33 -0000

Release 08 has no funtional difference from 07.
It has some mods to the makefile to allow the deb package to build correctly.
The deb package is much easier to install if your system can handle debian packages (for example in ubuntu, just download the package and double click it)

New release 07

release 07 should fix a source of segmentation errors
