README.Fedora
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This file is meant as README for Fedora specific changes for sane-backends
|
||
|
|
package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SANE daemon is moved to subpackage
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
sane-backends daemon - saned - its manual page and systemd unit files are moved
|
||
|
|
into subpackage named sane-backends-daemon. It was done because daemon provides
|
||
|
|
access to scanning devices on remote server, which nowadays isn't common
|
||
|
|
usage of sane-backends, so it wasn't necessary to ship it with main package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Several scanners need proprietary driver for working
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
Several scanners (e.g. Samsung, Brother, Epson) sometimes need special backends,
|
||
|
|
whose isn't shipped with sane-backends or cannot be shipped in Fedora because of
|
||
|
|
licensing problem. If your scanner isn't working with basic sane-backends:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) if your scanner is Epson, try to install iscan-firmware package or Image Scan from Epson official site
|
||
|
|
2) if your scanner is Samsung, try to find driver on https://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/
|
||
|
|
3) if your scanner is Brother, see http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ad2) Samsung proprietary driver is needed when user needs JPEG compression - this
|
||
|
|
feature support was added to sane-backends upstream by commit 926bfade544de4a4fd5,
|
||
|
|
which contained patches from Samsung. But this commit broke scanning for Samsung
|
||
|
|
scanners, so this patch was reverted with consequences of losing JPEG compression
|
||
|
|
feature for Samsung scanners.
