Open Source C Scanner Software

The Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing Project provides a unified single and multi-function connectivity solution for Linux. For support and help, please visit https://launchpad.net/hplip

Linux printing, scanning, and photo-card access on most HP multi-function peripherals.

A collection of enhanced PPD files for Canon Pixma MP600 and MP610 all-in-one printers, and a Sane scanner driver for Canon Pixma MP140, MP210, MP520, MP610, MP710, MX700 for up to 4800 dpi resolution, that can be used with Sane 1.0.18 or 1.0.19.

fiScanner - A (WIA) image scanner application for Windows 7 or greater, providing better scanning functionality than Windows Fax and Scan. Allows the output folder and (base) filename to be specified, and also allows for multiple scans at once. Does not support Windows XP.

The Hewlett-Packard Co. Linux Inkjet Driver Project has moved!

unpaper is a post-processing tool for scanned sheets of paper, especially for book-pages scanned from previously created photocopies. unpaper tries to remove dark edges, corrects the rotation ("deskew"), and aligns the centering of pages.

minidjvu is a DjVu encoder for black-and-white images.

A GUI for OCR programs.

SANE backend and stand-alone driver for Canon CanoScan parallel scanners (FB320P, FB620P, FB330P, FB630P, N340P, and N640P). Please note FB310P is NOT currently supported, sorry. For USB model support go to http://canon-fb630u.sourceforge.net/

scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons looking for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events as paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows also scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed, etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via dbus from foreign applications. On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device insertion / removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well. scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old) scanbuttond project. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend for the UMAX Astra 1220U (USB) scanner. This is a heavily modified adaptation of the original command driver written by Paul Mackerras.

Tifftool is a high-performance tool to clean scanned documents in preparation for onscreen display or for OCR. Features include skew correction, orientation correction, despeckle, page alignment, split pages and batch processing.

Backend to control HP Scanjet 3900 series scanners in linux (hp3800, hp3970, hp4070, hp4370 and those which use RTS8822 chipset). Written in C, using libusb libraries, it runs as stand-alone application and integrated in SANE project.

This is a driver for the Artec AS6E parallel port scanner. It now can be run through a SANE interface, or as a stand-alone program. Version 0.4 scans pretty well in all modes, and at all hardware resolutions. It works in EPP, PS/2, and SPP modes.

This is an attempt to create a neat backend for CIS scanners, based on LM9832 ASIC. Currently it supports only one scanner, TravelScan 660 from Syscan.

CanoScan 5200F driver for Sane Backend

This project was used to develop an OS-independent driver for the CanoScan FB630U flatbed scanner in the form of a backend for the SANE package. Since integration with the SANE project in 2002, there has been no activity here.

This is the repository for experimental driver code for Canon 1220U scanner. See CVS for actual code. canon is for Linux utility. ucanoscan is for FreeBSD. As of long ago the desired functionality has been available as part of SANE project.

This project aims to create Unix/Linux-Support for the Planon DocuPen portable handheld scanner.

Eikazo is an extensible frontend for Sane (http://www.sane-project.org)

Enhanced SANE backend (driver) for Coolscan scanners (SANE = Scanner Access Now Easy).

This is a non-official driver, written in C, for the FPS200 Veridicom's fingerprint sensor with the USB interface. It is also compatible with the Fujitsu's MBF200 fingerprint capture device.

HP Scanjet 2200C Driver for SANE - Closed because the scanner is now fully supported in the official SANE distribution.

This project is about writing a Linux SANE backend for the USB color scanners HP3300c, HP3400c, HP4300c, Agfa SnapScan Touch and Trust Office Scan 19200

SANE backend for the HP4200 flatbed scanner.
