  Hi Brian,

  how large is the image that you try to scan?

  I don`t know what the hp-backend does.

  XSane does save the image directly to a file, the
  image is not stored complete in memory.

  Do you connect via network (sane-net/saned) or direct
  to the hp backend (sane-dll/sane-hp)?

  Bye
  Oliver
