Regarding VueScan, I have used the free version, and quickly paid for 
the pro version.  It is worth every single penny.  The owner has quickly 
and very helpfully responded to my technical questions which dealt with 
scanning issues, not product issues.  I am just a user and have no 
relationship with the product or owner.  However, I could not imagine 
using any other product and would have been happy to pay much more for it.


An additional benefit, other than dozens of other useful features, of 
VueScan: If you want to create a calibration for your scanner(s) [using 
a color target you have to obtain elsewhere], you can load that 
calibration from within VueScan.  It really helps deal with the color 
problems caused by some scanners, or just some problems caused by 
scanners as their electronics age.


And yes, it can deal with slide scanners, etc., etc., etc.  Their 
scanner list is in the hundreds of models.

Right now you can only scan 8-bit per channel images with the xsane
gimp plugin, although the standalone xsane is fine.

Is there anything for Linux systems that competes with XSane? the other
scanning programs I've seen are very limited - e.g. can't select a page
area (whole page only) or can't choose bit depth, or can't tell the
scanner to focus on the glass or the film holder, or to use the
document feeder, or don't have a "batch' feature where you choose
several areas on the page to be scanned when you press the button on
the scanner (or the Ok button in the interface).

The xsane gimp plugin is often packaged separately from XSane and
separately from GIMP.

That said, XSane was last updated in 2013, and it's unclear if it's
even compatible with GIMP 2.8. API changes in 2.8.x and 2.9.x may be
not very forgiving to software that isn't actively maintained.

Besides, v0.999 only supports LittleCMS 1.x which is becoming
uinavailable in repositories.

Since all is 32-bit, you should not be having any issues. As a test, can
you try VueScan and see if that helps you? You can download a fully
functional trial from here:

Note that my installer installs 32-bit TWAIN plug-in by default even when
64-bit version of GIMP is being installed (because 64-bit TWAIN drivers are
rare).

Can you provide some details where you say "also no luck"? What exactly is
no luck?

Are you a a 64-bit Gimp or 32-bit Gimp? Do you have Windows\twain_32 or
Windows\twain_64 with the appropriate ds files for the scanner in each
folder?

Re: [Gimp-user] scanner

[Partha Bagchi]

Windows will look for DLLs in the following way - location of the calling
program, Windows Systems folder and then the PATH environment variable.

If Gimp is in your PATH variable, copying the DLL to your Gimp bin folder
should resolve this.

Of course, as Michael pointed out, you cannot call 32-bit DLLs from a
64-bit program.

32-bit TWAIN driver on a 64-bit platform seems to be a common problem
regardless of the application.

Have you reinstalled whatever software owns this DLL (likely a Nikon
provided software?)? Because this is not GIMP which installs it (at
least there is no such file for me), so reinstalling GIMP is not
likely to fix anything if your system can't find it.

Also I am not a usual Windows user, but if I understood the system
logics, DLLs are also found with the PATH environment variable.
Therefore you could try to check if windows\twain.32\nikon\nikon scan
3.0 is in your PATH, and if not, add it. That may fix your issue.

Jehan

I use the Epson Expressionist 1 XL for www.fromoldbooks.org - it's a
large-format scanner that I've heard described as "museum quality".  It
included a calibration target and (proprietary Windows-based) software
to use it. I've had it for about 7 years, but they are still sold I
think.

It all depends what you mean by "good", really, and your budget.

Yes it is the Partha's installer.
With your installer it works properly.

The only thing which is not working with your installer is the help.
The installation is ok and Gimp find the Help installed but when you launch 
it , you got on the left hand side the summary but on the right hand side 
the sentence in French "Erreur  l'ouverture du fichier  : invalid 
argument" which can be translated as follows :

"Error at the opening of the  file : invalid argument"
