I was not aware that OOo had grown that ability, so I gave it a shot in 2.4,
unforch it hung for about 5 minutes when I chose the high resolution (choices
are 50 dpi and 2400 with my epson 1250u, it has many many more choices than
just those 2) because a 2400 dpi scan takes many minutes and generates
several gigs of data, and I had to first configure such things as lamp
controls etc. The default turnoff was 300 seconds, aka 5 minutes, that was
15 minutes ago and I've since quit writer, and the lamp is still on.
However, it did release the scanner when I quit writer, and xsane was then
able to control it and turn it off.
