Thanks for the explanation Oliver. Is this documented anywhere? Do all the frontends behave the same way in response to bind-resolution?
My backend only supports the following resolutions in dpi: 75x75, 150x150, 300x300, 600x600, 600x1200 Therefore, I'll probably just use the resolution option. I was hoping to be better than the Windows driver and somehow relay information to the user that when they select 1200dpi they are really getting 600dpi x 1200dpi. I suppose I'll just put that information in the man page. Keep up the good work on xsane. It's a terrific front-end. Fred.

I assume it depends on the particular model whether or not there is full support under Linux. In particular I expect less support under Linux for those models which require a non-free module (like the Perfection 3590 PHOTO). Olaf, might there be less functionality under Linux even for those models which are reported as "complete" in http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-EPKOWA ? Of course I mean only the scanning functionality and not stuff like the nice buttons for e-mail, printing and whatever or printing and/or faxing functionality for all-in-one devices.
