The -d switch is only intended for debugging. > Also when using Xsane on Win 32and the saned daemon, My Indy only has > 8 bit graphics unfortunately, I only seem to get a junk image with 12 > bit scanning, which the scanner supports, does anyone else have this > problem?? Using sane 1.08, downloaded from the SGI freeware site. Does local scanning work, e.g. with scanimage? Even if your display can only show 8 bits, e.g. gimp is able to convert the 16 bit tiff generated by scanimage --format=tiff to an 8-bit image. Several problems can occur: the backend could use the wrong byte-order for transferring the data to the saned, saned could get it wrong while transferring over the net, the netbackend, too, and finally the frontend.
