Oh well, that's old :-) Anyway, it should work. > When I scan a halftone picture with this setup it looks awful; I guess > it's Moire interference. Something is wrong here, the mustek_usb backend doesn't support halftone mode at all. And as far as I remember, the original Mustek backend didn't either. Do you mean lineart (black/white) mode? I just tried lineart mode with this scanner and the result was ok as far as I could see. Could you show us the exact options you use for scanimage and put an example image somewhere on a website? > I haven't been able to install the old Mustek version of scanimage on the > new machine, for some reason, trying both the binary rpm and the source. > The binary rpm complains about needing a libgimp, and the source version > gets some compile errors. For the original Mustek version, ask Mustek for help. Bye, Henning
