Thanks, Allan.
That was a good question... because:
I went back and found the earliest scans to pdf with this machine, which were
from November. They were also shrunken. (Did I feel stupid!). Had to break
out the ruler and compare to originals.
All my earlier scans (before November) were with another machine where the
scanner used to sit, an old Hardy Heron machine. So, I am embarrassed to admit
that this problem must be with this machine from the time I first used it to
scan.
(I didn't notice it before because I was mostly scanning ads and notes that
were fed into GIMP, and not full-size pages to print. And the occasional page
to FAX. I hadn't printed those, so I hadn't noticed it. The FAX recipients
were probably noticing it and never said a word.)
I also HAD a different machine with Intrepid on it that didn't shrink things
noticeably, but it is long gone, fried hard drive, motherboard, and all. It
didn't noticeably shrink pages. In fact, using XSane, they were dead-on
sizewise. Same scanner I've had for years, my first. A survivor.
So given that I now realize the problem with this machine has been the same
from the beginning, is there a fix?
