(Attachment Suppressed) Success so far.
The commands below are what I abstracted from the web page you referred me to. After building and loading the latest back-end library, a command line scan produced the log file that you requested. (Attached). Additional scans with gscan2pdf, simplescan, and xsane all produced acceptable one page results. I cranked up the resolution to 300 dpi for one page, and there was no mis-behavior. My final test in this set was a multipage (via gscan2pdf) 150 dpi from the sheet feeder.The resultant PDF looked good. re: maintaining this configuration. Will ubuntu offer me an update to the backend library via the package mechanism? Or, have I detached this library from ubuntu package management by building a custom and later release of the library? Any other tests that you would like me to run? (How do I kill the env variable created by EXPORT?)
