the trouble starts if you unplug the scanner, 1.0.17_3 will complain of I/O errors. so i uninstalled 1.0.17_3, installed 1.0.15, it tested the scanner no problems (i had to reset the scanner first though), then uninstalled 1.0.15, installed 1.0.17_3, and now it works??

John Missing) Date: Sun Apr 9 02:32:23 2006 Subject: [sane-devel] ERROR: Sane gives 8 or 16 bit grayscale but not 1 bit B&W Message-ID: <[email protected]> I am running a Scanmaker 4800 with the sm3840 driver and I've been able to get almost everything working correctly except the color depth. I need to be able to do black and white scans, not merely grayscale. I know the scanner is capable of handling 1-bit color depth which is also supported by Kooka, but I don't even get the opportunity to select it. I know this is not a problem in Kooka, because XSane and Quiteinsane also have the problem. Is there some configuration file that needs to be setup to allow this option? -- Blessings, Archbishop John "Yona Gadadoli (Praying Bear)" Missing ([email protected] OR [email protected]) (http://victims-of-the-state.blogspot.com http://friends-of-human-rights.blogspot.com) 'First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing.
