Hi, I was happy to see xsane speaking with my old HP Office Jet R45 yesterday but there is a problem. When a ask for a preview with A4 format, the scanner wants to go further than the maximum and the chariot is locked. I can open the scanner and unlock it but it is a bit annoying because the preview does not end and xsane need a dirty kill or ^C.
I tried different things and noticed that the A5 format is ok, thus I think there is something with the preset-area-height. I am wondering what is the unit of this value to reduce it a bit in order to scan as much as possible without locking the scanner. A last thing! A used the same scanner since many years (I have got it since 2003) with xsane and everything was fine (I have got it since 2003). I do not remember the version of xsane and sane I was using because I spent some time under Microsoft OS meanwhile. The scanner works well under windows with HP drivers. Current platform: - Linux Compaq (T5000) 2.6.26-2-486 #1 Thu Nov 25 01:49:20 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux (Debian Lenny) - xsane_0.996-1_i386.deb - sane_1.0.14-7_i386.deb - hpoj_0.91-14_i386.deb (mlc:parport0) Thanks for your work! Pat. PS: I am truly sorry for my self translated English and I apologize. Perhaps a french will understand my english better than you... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
