<i>&gt; &gt; You *have* to specify a valid resolution (i.e. &gt;= 60dpi) explicitly.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; The firmware of the SE scanners is somewhat buggy, so &lt; 60 doesn't work</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; at all. And the default in scanimage is just 18 dpi :-)</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; That's right!!! Thanks man, that's the solution, BUT....</i><br>
<i>&gt; Now the problem is that the scanning is EXTRA VERY SUPER ULTRA slow.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Even as root with ``nice -19'' and option ``--speed Fastest'' and</i><br>
<i>&gt; ``--backtrack'' set at both options (yes/no) the scanning is EXTRA VERY SUPER</i><br>
<i>&gt; ULTRA slow (in contrast with the M$ procedure).</i><br>
<p>
--speed and --backtrack has no meaning for the SE. Get rid of this damn<br>
crippled SCSI-card shipped with the scanner. I've got an Adaptec 1520 and<br>
486-machine, a full page scan at 300dpi takes just 3 min. And kill anything<br>
not absolutely necessary before scanning.<br>
<p>
A kernel buffer size &gt; 127 kByte won't help to much, as the scanner itself<br>
has only 128 kByte and the request size must be limited to 64 kByte<br>
(buffer management not well implemented in firmware).<br>
