A mini howto apply my bugfix to the SANE source-tree? Here goes nothing: 1. cut 'n paste one of my two patch variations to <patchfile> 2. $> cd <sane-backends>/backend/ 3. $> cat <patchfile> | patch -p3 || echo "an ERROR occured" 4. $> cd <sane-backends>/ 5. $> configure 6. $> make install I could also send you a pre-compiled binary libsane-snapscan.so, for an i386 architecture, but if I were you I'd never trust any binaries from just any joe random. In my case you can make an exception though ;-) Seriously, I'd be perfectly willing to do that. The scanner works like a charm for me here -- I needed it badly to scan ca. 3000 newspaper clippings. I'm simply stunned by the quality compared to my old Canoscan 630P, which itself I always found to be quite good already. > Thanks > Jim Regards, bjd
