Who looks after the site? I can give quite afew hours to it as i work in the afternoons so most, if not all my mornings are free, apart from taking the dog for a walk! <br>I'm looking at developing a scanner database program for linux that hopefully would be a point & click. To explain i have a epson dx6000 mfp and to get the scanner working was not hard but time consuming, lsusb, then epson.conf, then 45-libsane.rules, etc. I'm hopeing to make it easier, more simple to attach a scanner. I have contacted some of the major manafacturers hopeing that they will be able to supply me with the details of the SYSFS idVendor &
idProduct (model). Epson idVendor is 04b8 and my idPrinter 082f. I can then start building a database so users can click on the make and model this then creates the file to paste into the .rules file. <br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Simon Wells <swells@computing.dundee.ac.uk><br>To: Tayside Linux User Group <dundee@mailman.lug.org.uk><br>Cc: Simon Wells <swells@computing.dundee.ac.uk><br>Sent: Thursday, 18 October, 2007 4:21:02 PM<br>Subject: Re: [dundee] Website<br><br>Isn't this the kind of content that could be put onto the TLUG <br>website rather than creating a new one?It is one way to demonstrate <br>that TLUG is an active and vibrant user group.<br><br>Simon<br><br><br>Dr. Simon Wells<br>----------------------<br><a ymailto="mailto:swells@computing.dundee.ac.uk"
