sane-find-scanner: vendor=0x055f, product=0x021c [USB Scanner], chip=GT-6816.
The long story short - see attachments: linux-photo.jpg - a part of a photo scanned in linux; windows-photo.jpg - the same part of a photo scanned in windows; the lines are vertical for the scanner portrait orientation. To scan in linux I used all available on my system utilities: xsane, simple scan, scanimage. Resulting output is the same (with red lines) for all of them. Firmware: 3 different in size PS1Dfw.usb files: one taken from here http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/firmware/PS1Dfw.usb, other two - from a scanner install disk. No significant difference in the output. In windows I used TWAIN driver and other software from the install disk shipped with scanner. I did not succeed in completely removing the lines by adjusting color gamma, brightness, contrast, etc. The lines changed their color or intensity but remained visible anyway. I even see them in a grayscale output as alternate light and dark lines. How to make (x)sane output looks more/exactly like output made in windows? Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
