- SwingSane is a cross platform, open source Java client (frontend) for Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) servers (backends). SwingSane provides access to scanners connected to SANE servers on a network on any platform that supports Java and Swing. It can also be used with your own application to provide some Swing code for accessing SANE scanners.
- The other application I found was BRU from Tolis Group Inc. In Scottsdale, Ariz. BRU has been around for 19 years as a reliable Unix backup product and is now fully ported to Mac OS X in both.

The TWAIN SANE interface is not a standalone application. It isdesigned to be used from within other applications. It works withapplications supporting the TWAIN specification, which includes mostapplications on Mac OS X that handles images. However using it withApple‘s Image Capture application has become increasingly tricky withevery version of Mac OS X. You will have an easier experience if youchoose any other application.
The TWAIN SANE Interface is provided as a binary package and as sourcecode. To use the interface you only have to install the binarypackage. Before installing the TWAIN SANE Interface package you shouldinstall the libusb and the sane-backends binary packages.
There is also a optional SANE Preference Pane package available, whichmakes it easier to configure the sane-backends drivers. If you don’tinstall this package you can still configure the sane-backends using atext editor in the Terminal.
If you have trouble making it work, please consult the list of frequently asked questions.
If you want to compile the sources you also have to install thegettext package. If you are cross-compiling using the MacOS Xcross-compilation SDKs you need to install the corresponding SDKs forthe used packages.

Localizations
The TWAIN SANE Interface has been localized to the followinglanguages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian andSwedish. For most of the translation it relies on the localizationsupport in the SANE backend libraries.
If you want to provide localization support for a different language you arewelcome to do that. Network drivers for macbook. What you should do is the following:
- You might want to check with me that I did not already recieve thelocalization for your language from someone else..
- First check if there exists a file called/usr/local/share/locale/〈langcode〉/LC_MESSAGES/sane-backends.mocontaining the localizations for the SANE backend libraries for your language.If there is no such file you must first localize the SANE backend libraries.For more information about this see theSANE project homepage.
- Download the TWAIN SANE Interface source code.
- After unpacking the source tarball you will find in it a directory called src.In this directory there is one language project directory for each language(English.lproj, Swedish.lproj, etc.). In these directories there are two filescalled InfoPlist.strings and Localizable.strings.
- You should create your own copy of these two files and change the translations.These files contain several lines of the type 'key' = 'value'. Do not changethe keys, but translate the values. Note that these files should be in theUTF-8 encoding.
- There is also a set of language project files in the pkg/Resourcesdirectory. These contain localization files for the Installer called.If you want you can also provide localized versions of these. Thesefiles are also of the 'key' = 'value' type and should also be in theUTF-8 encoding.
- Send the files to me, and I will include them in my next release.
