TAME/2 (OS2 Warp 4.52 on Virtualbox)
« on: March 10, 2019, 02:35:13 pm »
Hi, have installed Tame/2.
On Virtualbox devices menu I have activated the usb connection to my Canon Lide 100 usb scanner.
Runned Tame2 for first time, it asks for scanner model selection, and among Canon models it goes up to Canon Lide 60 wich seems the nearest to my Canon Lide 100 (not in the list). Selected it, then I begin scanning preview or scan to file which take to the same output: a 0 kb tif file = non file scanned.  And I expect such result, as during the scanning interface displaying  the progress bar, which means that the scanner is doing the job, I do no not hear any working noise from my scanner, it is not active.
Could it be a usb port connection matter or what else?
Thank you

ivan

My experience with Tame on real hardware with a USB scanner was that it worked well with the old USB drivers but stopped working when something was changes with newer drivers and Sane.

Now all the scanning I do is from my Brother colour laser via ftp.

Hi mauro

Open a command window in the directory containing scanimage.exe

Then run scanimage with -L to list devices it finds and -T to test the backend driver. I suggest this as it seems the scanner is not being found

I have not used a usb attached scanner for a while but seem to recall that problems arose if libusb.dll was not current.


Regards

Pete

Hi Mauro, Ivan and Pete
Mauro  After reading your post,decided to give tame/2
 another try on a new install of arco 5.0.3
with same results as you and as I had some time before

Ivan, sounds like a usb problem

Pete  I did try scanimage -L  and my scanner was correctly identified
HP7400C flatbed

then tried       scanimage _T with the following response
scanimage: received signal 15
scanimage: trying to stop scanner
sane-find-scanner replied with : no usb scanner found

a libusb problem????  and is there a solution

regard Phil

Hi mauro & Phil

I had a hunt for some emails I exchanged with Paul, sane porter, the last time I set up a usb scanner which I had some problems with. In fact, I had it working as a wirless scanner before I got the usb connection working.

Paul did build a version of sane 1.0.24, dated sometime April 2015, for me to test which worked fine with usb and it still seems to be here http://smedley.id.au/tmp/scanimage.zip

Might be worth trying...


Regards

Pete

  thanks for the help.  I downloaded Pauls scanimage, opened and
ran, got the following:  libusb10 not found.  I will have to do a search
for libusb10.dll and install

Phil, on my ArcaOS 5.02 system, it is normally located in the

D:\usr\lib\libusb10.dll

There's a couple floating around including one that can be installed with ANPM IIRC.

Hi

Try this  http://smedley.id.au/tmp/libusb-20161207.zip

Not sure if there is a later build anywhere...

Hi to all and thanks for all the input.
Last night looking for an unrelated item, ran across
an old posting I had printed, posted on this forum by Ivan
dated march 25 2016  Topic: Problems with Tame.
Several replies.  Perhaps digging into the archive and reposting
would be helpful.
regards  Phil

here is the output (scanimage.exe from originally installed Tame/2):

[C:\APPS\TAME]scanimage.exe -L
device `test:0' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device
device `test:1' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device

[C:\APPS\TAME]scanimage.exe -T
scanimage.exe: scanning image of size 157x196 pixels at 8 bits/pixel
scanimage.exe: acquiring gray frame, 8 bits/sample
scanimage.exe: reading one scanline, 157 bytes...       PASS
scanimage.exe: reading one byte...              PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 2 bytes...         PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 4 bytes...         PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 8 bytes...         PASS

scanimage.exe: stepped read, 64 bytes...        PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 128 bytes...       PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 256 bytes...       PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 255 bytes...       PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 127 bytes...       PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 63 bytes...        PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 31 bytes...        PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 15 bytes...        PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 7 bytes...         PASS
scanimage.exe: stepped read, 3 bytes...         PASS

but nothing happened on my scanner.
Do you think it would be suggestable downloading/replacing with the last version of scanimage.exe you mentioned here?

Thank you


Pete

Hi mauro

This result shows no scanner available:-

[C:\APPS\TAME]scanimage.exe -L
device `test:0' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device
device `test:1' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device


If I had to guess the problem I would go with ivans suggestion of usb driver problem...


You could try the later sane (scanimage) package.
You may also need the later libusb package - check date of any installed libusb10.dll against package date. If I remember correctly libusb handles usb without using usb drivers - apart from, possibly, the usb controller.

When installed retry the scanimnage -L command.


Regards

Pete

libusb uses usbresmg.sys & usbcalls which are part of the USB stack. Looks like I rebuilt it a while back to accomodate changes in these drivers - http://smedley.id.au/tmp/libusb-20161207.zip

I would also suggest the later sane package.

Cheers,
