Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Request for testers with USB Scanners

Hi All,
I've started work to make Sane work with USB Scanners on OS/2 using the
usbcalls package  by Markus Montkowski available from Netlabs.

As a precursor, I've compiled sane-find-scanner.exe which correctly
identified the scanner on my machine.

I'd appreciate it if testers with a USB scanner would download
http://smedley.info/sane-find-scanner.zip and send me the report from
running:

    sane-find-scanner -v

Note that this may require a newer version of usbresmg.sys than eCS 1.2
ships with.  I had system traps with gPhoto2.

If traps in os2krnl are experienced with this build, please update
usbresmg.sys using the package at http://smedley.info/usbresmg.zip

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

NOTE: this will not scan - all it will do is detect (hopefully!) a USB
scanner attached to your PC.

Cheers,

Paul.
