This is to report that the Umax Astra 1220S - the latest in the 1200<br>
series - appears to work fine with SANE, with no nasty noises from the<br>
mechanism! The resolution on xscanimage only goes up to 600dpi though<br>
(but see below)<br>
<p>
The main problems I'm having are now related to my Epson ST600 printer.<br>
For a start I can't get the pnmtops - or any other of the netpbm tools<br>
to work - they all want the libtiff.so.1 library, which I havn't been<br>
able to locate. The other problem is that whilst the screen image is<br>
true to the original, the printed image is not. I'm using the<br>
stc600p.upp Alladin GS 5.10 filter (which works much better than the<br>
st600 filter - which _drenches_ the paper with ink!)<br>
<p>
Whilst on the subject of scanning, the issues of scanner verses printer<br>
resolution appear to be more complicated than meets the eye. Are there<br>
any rules of thumb or is there a book `How to get the best from your<br>
Scanner' available?<br>
<p>
Why does my scanner provide resolutions up to 9600 dpi when the default<br>
resolution for photos seems to be 100 and OCR 300? What use is 9600 -<br>
scanning postage stamps?<br>
<p>
