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-2I 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.
Regards
Pete
