I never did get either XSane or imagescan to work properly with this thing. XSane still crashes on a color preview, and imagescan still scans the wrong area.
Thankfully I tried using Kooka in KDE. This app works perfectly. A proper color preview, and scans exactly the area requested. There is software problem going on here with the Sane front ends on this scanner. I wish XSane were usable, as it allows for a lot more tweaks and integrates nicely with Gimp. Anyhow, even though I've managed to conclude that this scanner is usable for me, I thought I'd still let this list know that there still exist a number of glitches in Sane which are pretty significant. Just hoping that someone gets a chance to look this over. Later on, -- "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx
