Support for FUJITSU ScanSnap iX1300 scanners #439

Closed lanwin closed 4 weeks ago

lanwin commented 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a FUJITSU ScanSnap iX1300 scanner witch did not comes with WIA or TWAIN drivers. This device currently only works with the ScanSnap software and can be used via USB or Wifi.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be wonderful if Naps could directly support that device too.

It seems libSANE has support for such scanners when they are connected via USB. But I can not confirm that. There is also an Android app and most of the time its easy to decompile Android apps which makes it easier to reverse engineer the communication.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative is to use the ScanSnap software. But its much more bloated and NAPS2 has a better workflow (at least for me).

Looks like SANE does support it but unfortunately SANE doesn't work well on Windows. And implementing non-standard drivers is beyond the scope of this project.

If you really want you could install a Linux VM and use NAPS2 on Linux with SANE. If you do this and set up Scanner Sharing you can even work from your Windows NAPS2 with the VM minimized.
