Hi, I haven't seen recent information on wine and twain. I already sent a similar mail to wine-users and, in a second step to wine-devel, but without any information back until now.
May be the trick "Wine and twain" to "Wayne and twin" will give me more chance to be listen. Or may be my question is really stupid?
From a recent mail that I got, the problem is of interest for at least
another people too. To be honest, she was at an earlier stage of installing Fine Reader and nothing came up for her wine installation. My problem is accessing the scanner from Fine Reader. I am not a specialist of Wine and simply use Winetools basic installation to install my fake drive, and then use standard wine to install all my Windows programs, including Noteworthy Composer recently (with timidity as midi synthesiser as reported on apps-db) and Fine Reader.
Here is the question:
I am trying to test a Finereader Office (version 5) with an USB scanner. Everything seems working. But I get scanner not ready when searching for scanner. Sane, gimp or whatever program using sane are working well with my scanner.
Doing WINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine finereader.exe I get: ... trace:loaddll:load_dll Loaded module L"C:\program files\abbyy finereader 5.0 office\scan\scanman0.dll" : native trace:loaddll:load_dll Loaded module L"c:\windows\system\ \msvcrt.dll" : builtin trace:loaddll:MODULE_FlushModrefs Unloaded module L"c:\windows\system\ \msvcrt.dll" : builtin err:module:load_builtin_dll loaded .so for L"Twain.dll" but got L"twain_32.dll" instead - probably 16-bit dll trace:loaddll:MODULE_LoadModule16 Loaded module "c:\windows\ \Twain.dll" : builtin Scanning driver not ready.
But the scanner is ready: # sane-find-scanner -v
searching for USB scanners: checking /dev/usb/scanner... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/usb/scanner0... failed to open (Invalid argument) ... checking /dev/usbscanner15... failed to open (Invalid argument) found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [hp], product=0xb402 [photosmart 7700 series]) at libusb:002:002 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010f [EPSON Scanner 010F], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:003
# scanimage -L device `plustek:libusb:001:003' is a Epson Perfection 1250/Photo USB flatbed scanner device `net:localhost:plustek:libusb:001:003' is a Epson Perfection 1250/Photo USB flatbed scanner
Thus the device is something like "plustek:libusb:001:003" and # scanimage -d plustek:libusb:001:003 >foo.pnm works.
Is there any wine test (windows exe) in order to test twain?
What can I do to go further
