Any plans to upgrade sane-backends in rawhide (and in F11 updates testing if the former works well?)? I'm particularly looking for Canon iSENSYS MF-4150 scanner driver, which is supposed to be supported in 1.0.20, but guess owners of the other 70+ scanner models now supported would appreciate it as well. Thanks. New with 1.0.20, released 2009-05-03: * New backends: canon_dr (Canon DR-series), coolscan3 (Nikon LS & Coolscan), rts8891 (Umax & HP 44xx), xerox_mfp (Samsung/Xerox/Dell MFPs) * Many backends updated. * 75 more scanner models supported. * New build system (thanks Chris and Olaf). * Avahi support (thanks Julien). * More network scanners supported * Epson backend deprecated, use epson2 * Coolscan2 backend deprecated, use coolscan3 * Internal SCSI, USB, threading, TCP & UDP code updates. * Updated HAL and udev support. * Improved saned configuration. * Scanimage updates. * Updated translations. * Documentation updates. * Bugfixes.
(In reply to comment #0) > Any plans to upgrade sane-backends in rawhide (and in F11 updates testing if > the former works well?)? Sure. We have some patches over upstream needed for distro integration (as usual, Fedora was a bit ahead of upstream sane-backends w.r.t. udev, hal, PolicyKit and the other usual suspects), I'll have to review these and either drop or update them.

Is there a list of scanner owners with models? I think with all these problems that would be useful. Also a mailing list that 'now you could try again if your scanner still sucks'. I've HP 7400something.
