I bought a used photosmart photoscanner (scsi version), and I was getting these awful 12 pixel wide lines down the left of the slide or negative, about a 1/4 of the image inset. I tried everything, finall took it apart, the lens on the CCD was cracked :( needless to say I got a refund. too bad, it seemed sharp and the colors were good, its just that the line made it unusable. The unit seemed sturdy, if it wasn't for the cracked ccd lens I would be very happy ;) - Chris -- Chris Murray /"\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN http://apeman.org/ X AGAINST HTML MAIL Cell: 604.861.8307 / \/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
