The problem that I have is not that the scanner is not detected. I might have had that problem long ago but I didn't report it and don't remember it. The problem I reported in the description of this bug is really that the pixels scanned are improperly aligned (sometimes called a Shear transformation). This is the kind of problem that happens when the number of columns of the image is not counted correctly, such that the driver and the device disagree on that number but are oblivious about it. The slope of 1/3 I get means that the driver's image is missing 3 columns compared to what the scanner provides.
Yesterday, I plugged that scanner again for the first time since March (which is why I only reply now) and then I realised that the problem happens in 300 dpi, and something worse (lower slope) happens with 600 dpi, but 150 dpi is fine. The shear is also accompanied by a color offset problem but I didn't measure it and I suppose that it might be another consequence of the same bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953221 Title: UMAX Astra 1220U scanner support stopped working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+bug/953221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
