I'm returning to this. I have Xsane 0.998 and hplip 3.12.2. In Xsane's Advanced Options dialog the only alternative I get for compression is JPEG. It is not possible to set to none. And if I try the OP's fix and edit that file, Xsane overwrites it the next time it starts. So after three years nothing has happened, it is still not possible to save an uncompressed tif file! I find this rather outrageous!
Also, Robert Ancell claims that Simple-scan will save uncompressed, but it certainly does not. Simple-scan 3.4.3. Does all this mean that there is no way to scan uncompressed with a HP scanner? If so, what kind of scanner do I need to get uncompressed scans? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192176 Title: Scanner output always JPEG compressed Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing: Invalid Status in Simple Scan: Fix Released Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “hplip” package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: hplip The hpaio backend compresses the scanned image with JPEG before it is received by xsane.
