<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "> <div>I found a thread about Kooka being taken out of the distro.</div><div><br></div><div>I've been using Kooka with my Epson PM-A850 all-in-one scanner-expensive-printer, but I have not been able to scan at 1200 dpi. Now I want to scan at 1200 dpi. I was able to take two scans, then it wedged. I hit the full scan button and nothing happens. Move reasolution back to 300 dpi and no problem. Back again to 1200 dpi and no scan. That was on F7.</div><div><br></div><div>So, I decided to boot up my experimental install of F9, and I discover, no Kooka. Tried the scanner tool, but it complains that it can't find the sane library for my printer, or that there is some conflict. I really haven't been messing with loading lots of stuff, so I figure it's not likely to be a conflict, but I'll check later, if I can break out some time.</div><div><br></div><div>Then I went hunting and found out that Kooka has been dropped.</div><div><br></div><div>I also found Avasys. It's a blob. LGPL-compatible licensed. Gag.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone care to comment on Avasys's blobs? Or, preferably, point me to a properly open solution?</div><div><br></div><div>I'll keep looking tomorrow, it doesn't look like I have time to do anything further today. But if anyone cares to give me a few clues before I go hunting tomorrow, I'd appreciate it.</div><div><br></div><div>(Sempron 2600, Pasokon Koubou's private Librage brand with a K4 mobo, IIRC.)</div><div><br></div><div>Joel Rees</div> <br><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>Joel Rees</div><div>(waiting for a 3+GHz ARM processor to come out, </div><div>to test Steve's willingness to switch again.)</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br></body></html>
