Good point,<br>
I do know that the artec backend still not full proof, I've been working with<br>
Chris to fix problems.<br>
But as a fact, some frontend like scanner.cgi, and TWAIN also, do not seem to<br>
fully verify the availability of options before seting them.<br>
<p>
TWAIN looks good, and I know it's the first version and there will be many more.<br>
<p>
one problem I notice with most frontend, is that they are developped and tested<br>
for one backend and the authors has to rely on fixes from other tester, but<br>
unfortunatly and often fixes/changes seem to be lost or not implemented.<br>
<p>
Note that I'm not complaining, just making remarks in hope that developpers<br>
listen and help getting all of those projects standardized.<br>
<p>
Unfortunatly as of wednesday I won't be much help here since I'm moving to Europe<br>
for few months, but I'm sure when I'll be back that everything will be working<br>
like a charm ;-)<br>

<i>&gt; &gt; I got it, but having problmes with the artec backend.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; It seem that the BRIGHTNESS and some other options are not always supported</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; by some backends.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I think that, if the options are left to '0' you should not try to set them.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I've experimented with "bypassing" the BRIGHTNESS from the backend and works</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; better.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; But that sould be changed from the "frontend" which in this case is TWAIN.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; If the artec backend reports an option "BRIGHTNESS", but when you set it,</i><br>
<i>&gt; falls over or does something stupid, then it is broken. If the TWAIN</i><br>
<i>&gt; frontend, which I've yet to test, puts lots of options up regardless of</i><br>
<i>&gt; whether they are offered by the backend, then it is broken. However, the</i><br>
<i>&gt; SANE specification doesn't say "If you receive weird option specifiers,</i><br>
<i>&gt; please crash and burn", so the backend should handle it gracefully anyway.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; I'm not sure which is the case here, but it sounds like (again) backends</i><br>
<i>&gt; aren't sticking to SANE. Does someone else know?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Nick.</i><br>
