HP LaserJet M1005 sane backend

[Couriousous]

Hello

According to the "release early, release often" here is a half-working sane
backend for the HP LasetJet M1005 MFP.

What's not working:
- Scanning mode selection, xsane "disable" the option, scanimage doesn't show
it. I don't know why ...
- Cannot select the scanning area. I must find a formula translating the mm
into the scanner unit, and the scanner unit into pixels, currently hardcoded
value are used.
- The scanner is not reset after use. You must wait a "timeout" until you will
be able to use the device after a scan.
There are tons of other hidden bugs.

What's working:
Scanning A4 format in color at 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 600 and 1200 DPI.

Patches are welcome !

Regards,
Couriousous

Cool. I think the best idea might be to attach your work to the bug
tracker. Things tend to get lost and forgotten in mailing lists.

Hello

Here is an update about this driver status:

- Scanning at every native resolution and color mode is supported.
- Scanning area selection is supported
- Scanner is properly put back in "idle" state after a scan
- Backend use less memory when scanning

So, it's a pretty complete backend. You can download it here:

User feedback would be welcome, even if it's only a "It works here". It's nice
to know if works on others printers.

BTW, HP guys, since I've reverse-engineered almost all the protocol, it would
be nice to give me the full spec so I could check if I don't make false
assumptions which could potentially break the device ....

Regards,
Philippe
