Hi Alex


scanimage.exe and all conf files are in both PROGRAMS\TAME and PROGRAMS\TAME\sane\etc\sane.d



The .conf file *must* be in the Tame directory not a subdirectory. Here is what happens for me:-

Code: [Select]
[J:\PROGRAMS\TAME]scanimage -L
device `test:0' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device
device `test:1' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device
device `pixma:MG7500_192.168.1.252' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MG7500 Series multi-f
unction peripheral

[J:\PROGRAMS\TAME]

I am using

Code: [Select]
[J:\PROGRAMS\TAME]dir *.conf

The volume label in drive J is Apps.
The Volume Serial Number is C642:65BE.
Directory of J:\PROGRAMS\TAME

22-03-19 12:13a           647    344 a---  pixma.conf
.
.
[J:\PROGRAMS\TAME]dir scanimage.exe

The volume label in drive J is Apps.
The Volume Serial Number is C642:65BE.
Directory of J:\PROGRAMS\TAME

21-03-19  9:54a     4,817,128    481 a---  scanimage.exe

and only the Tame package from the tame/sane package available here https://os2ports.smedley.id.au/index.php?page=sane-for-os-2

Hi Alex

Simply copy scanimage.exe and <,scanner>.conf files to the tame/2 directory - see my previous post about this above (Page2).

Hi All

Paul has just put together a build of the latest sane which needs testing http://smedley.id.au/tmp/sane-backends-1.0.27-os2-20190321.zip

Hi All

Well, that is a surprise.

Having tried to help in this discussion made me decide to try getting Tame/2 to work with my Canon PIXMA MG7550 again.

The scanner does work with scanimage.exe - although I have to "reboot", ie power scanner off/on after every scan, due to a bug that, hopefully, will be fixed in the next release of sane - so, in theory, it should work with Tame/2.

My 1st step was to locate and download the latest build of Tame that I could find which seems to be available from
 here https://os2ports.smedley.id.au/index.php?page=sane-for-os-2

I then deleted the contents of my \programs\tame directory and ran the downloaded tame package tame20080426.exe which is a self contained wpi installer package.
NOTE: This package contains Tame/2 plus other packages. I deselected all packages except Tame/2 which I then installed.

I then copied my scanimage.exe and pixma.conf files from my sane installation to the Tame directory - being hopeful that no other sane files are required.

Having tried to get this scanner working previously I was aware that the scanner needs an entry in the Tame file scanner.dat and that I had a backup of this file containing the, possibly correct, entry data so copied the modified scanner.dat from my backups over-writing the just installed scanner.dat file.

NOTE: scanner.dat is a binary INI file and can be edited using INI Editor from INI Tools or any other capable ini file editor. I seem to recall that to add my scanner to this file I created a new Application, Canon PIXMA MG7500 series, then simply copied another similar scanner Keys entries - possibly a Canon LiDE30.

With, hopefully, everything in place I started Tame/2, selected my Canon PIXMA MG7500 series scanner, saved settings, exited Tame/2 and restarted Tame/2.

I checked the printer/scanner was powered on and then clicked the "scan to file" button.
The attached Captured1.jpg is the result  :-)


Just hoping the next release of sane does cure the "end of scan" problem that plagues the scanimage.exe I am using.

Pete

Hi Phil

I think scanimage should find a connected, powered on scanner but I read somewhere that it may be an idea to make sure by editing the .conf file.

You are using the avision.conf file so probably want to uncomment 1 of the usb lines:-

# usb libusb:002:003
# usb 0x03f0 0x0701


It may make a difference...

Hi Phil

I think that sane-find-scanner was used for scsi attached scanners - may be wrong.

scanimage -L seems to have delivered the correct result.

How long did you wait for the scanimage -T command to run? - takes a few seconds here, maybe 15.

D:\user\lib\cups\backend\usb,exe is the backend needed by cups to print to a usb printer. If this is not a duplicate leave it alone.

To check out printing problems you need to load the cups interface in your browser - http://localhost:631/ - and check the error log for clues. You may have to set the error log to debug and retry a print job to get detailed report.

Hi mauro

Glad to read a combination of advice has helped  :-)

Wish I could get my scanner - wireless connected Canon PIXMA MG7550 - working with TAME as that would be a bit easier than playing command line cowboy to get a scan using scanimage.exe

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.

Pete

Hi

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

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

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...

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.

Games / The Digger Games Menu
« on: March 07, 2019, 04:53:19 pm »
Hi All

Martins discussions about retro DOS and OS/2 games prompted me to put a menu system together for what was one of my early favourite DOS games, Digger from Windmill Software, and the extra game files available. This menu system is for use with the OS/2 port of Digger *and* the Extra game files.

DigMenu is available from hobbes http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?key=digmenu&pushbutton=Search

Digger for OS/2 - http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/games/action/digger-20140703.zip
Extra game files, *.DLF (Digger Load Files?) - http://www.digger.org/digextra.zip

This is an easy way to select and play any of the digger games available on your system; simply run through the
file dialogs to setup the menu system on first use and then play Digger or any of the extra game files available by doubleclicking or pressing Enter on the selected game.

I did try to post the above as a news item on os2world but that seems to have failed...


Have Fun  :-)

Hi All

Could the soundcard source from DOSBox be used as a starting point in creating a virtual soundblaster for DOS proper?

Hi ivan

The choice of video driver does not matter as it is not loaded until during boot.

I have no idea how airboot is coded but if it is not displaying onscreen then I would guess the system is not presenting the video signal in a way that airboot can interpret.

Not a problem I have bumped into... I sometimes see a video out of range message when the Desktop loads which is "cured" by powering monitor off then on.

I get the impression you are using the graphics integrated into the cpu and wonder if the cause of the problem lies in that direction.

Should be worth a bug report anyway.


Regards

Pete
