Hi, all,<br>
<p>
I'm currently getting some experience using my Mustek 600 II N scanner<br>
under Linux with Sane 0.74, after sorting out a few problems a week ago.<br>
<p>
Thanks to those who assisted in this!<br>
<p>
I even got custom gamma tables to work, after upgrading to gtk-1.0.5.<br>
Thanks to this mailing list / archive, where I found the solution<br>
to that one.<br>
<p>
However, there are a couple more of those small (i.e. non-fatal, but<br>
somewhat annoying) matters that probably should be looked into before<br>
the 0.75 release:<br>
<p>
1) Attempting to cancel the preview before the whole page has been<br>
scanned (I see the whole of what is interesting, and get<br>
impatient.... ;) results in a complete hang (~99% CPU time, and<br>
nothing else happens). Killing and restarting the process doesn't<br>
help. The only recovery I have found from this is to power off/on<br>
the scanner (which again in turn seems to have caused a system<br>
crash....). Conclusion: I don't use preview cancel anymore until<br>
this has been sorted out!<br>
<p>
2) Frequently (~95% of all cases I have run into) a few white lines<br>
(seeming to vary in number) appear at the top of the scanned image<br>
when viewed with xv. Same way some _black_ lines appear at the<br>
bottom! This behaviour (so it would seem) is correlated with xv<br>
reporting "image seems to be truncated". The cure for this is to<br>
scan a wee bit more than you really need, then crop the image<br>
with xv, and save. (Gimp simply reports "load failed", but whether<br>
that is due to the truncated files or to some Gimp-related thing<br>
(in that case affecting only *.pnm files) I'm not sure of at<br>
present.)<br>
<p>
Are these Mustek(600 II N)-specialties, or something more general?<br>
Suggestions, anyone...?<br>
<p>
<p>
Cheers,<br>
