The Epson GT-7000 seems to work just fine.<br>
<p>
I installed the scanner and sane and have tried it through xscanimage and gimp <br>
1.0.2 without too many problems (mostly due to pilot error and failure to <br>
rtfm).<br>
<p>
I am not a programmer by an means so I am reduced to using rpms, sane-1.00-1 <br>
from the contrib site. I am using a RedHat distribution, kernel 2.0.36 and <br>
Adaptec 2920 with the aic7xxx module. I tried compiling from the source code <br>
but I have a few problems with the gtk libraries installed so I can't get past <br>
compiling xscanimage.<br>
<p>
As for the known problems:<br>
<p>
- image depth<br>
<p>
I compared this against a downloaded jpg that I thought looked okay, using <br>
gimp, and I got the same info, i.e. RGB colour, True Colour, Visual Depth 16 <br>
(that's my x-window I guess), shades 8 / 4 / 8.<br>
<p>
- gamma-table is for CRT-B only <br>
<p>
Don't know what that even means, sorry<br>
<p>
- cancel does not work<br>
<p>
not tried it yet<br>
<p>
- device name fixed to /dev/scanner<br>
<p>
My /etc/saned/epson.conf is just 'scsi EPSON' and it works just great. I don't <br>
even have a /dev/scanner<br>
<p>
- memory leaks<br>
<p>
I know what that is but I don't know how to find out if it does, no help there <br>
I am afraid.<br>
<p>
Thanks for the great utility and thanks to Kazuhiro for the Epson backend.<br>
<p>
If there is anything further you need, any details etc, let me know and I will <br>
do what I can to help you out. As I said I am not a programmer but if you give <br>
me some instructions I could give it a go.<br>
<p>
Task for Sunday - install saned and try network scanning.<br>
<p>
Regards<br>
