<i>&gt; Seems to work OK. There are a few more things I would have liked to add,</i><br>

<i>&gt; telling you that it will take some time to scan).</i><br>
<i>&gt; I would appreciate feedback from the many people who wanted to try it out. </i><br>
<p>
I have tested the software on Windows (version 0.9 dated Dec 31). The<br>
sanedll and scanimage appeared to work properly - I could scan an image<br>
from Win95 with the scanner on my Linux box, and the .ppm images were<br>
identical.<br>
<p>
However, I had problems with the TWAIN interface using Adobe PhotoDeluxe<br>
that was shipped with the UMAX 1220S scanner. I configured the .ini<br>
file to point to my scanner, and the TWAIN_32 interface appeared OK.<br>
When I selected the TWAIN_32 source, WinSANE Ver 0.9 started, with my<br>
scanner selected.<br>
<p>
However, some of the parameters (eg Mode, Resolution, and Scan-size) in<br>
the GUI did not match what was in the .ini file. I tried scanning<br>
several times, and each time either WinSANE would report "Scan failed"<br>
or I would get a white image back. There was a flicker of disk activity<br>
on the Linux server, but no scanner activity at all. I was watching<br>
"top", and did not see if saned started. However, my scanner kernel-module<br>
was loaded, so I assume saned started and stopped very quickly.<br>
<p>
I also tried running "saned -d 128" as root to see if there were any<br>
debug messages, but nothing appeared on the console. However, no debug<br>
messages appeared when I used scanimage and xscanimage on my SANE server<br>
either (bug/omission in saned or stupidity on my part?). Unfortunately<br>
I can't see what's wrong with WinSANE, since the source isn't available...<br>
<p>
Cheers, Andreas<br>
