Am working with an HP Scanjet 4P, scanning with xscanimage 1.0 out of<br>
gimp 1.02. Everything works great; only hangup is that this scanner is<br>
advertised as 300dpi optical with 1200 enhanced. However, I find I can<br>
only actually get 600dpi. Same result with xvscan 1.60.<br>
<p>
I've heard to get the full 1200 dpi enhanced mode you have to scan out<br>
of Windows 9x using some dll that comes with the scanner. Can anyone<br>
confirm? Or is there a way to deal with this within Linux?<br>
<p>
Since I need more resolution for a project, I'm thinking of going to<br>
an HP 6200 Cse, advertised as 1200x1200, with "virtually unlimited"<br>
enhanced mode. But: will I have the same problem over again? Has<br>
anyone gotten 1200dpi or higher out of this?<br>
<p>
By the way, I find you have to actually look at the file gimp<br>
produces. Xscanimage happily lets you dial in arbitrarily high dpi's<br>
but doesn't seem to let you know you got less than what you<br>
wanted. (xvscan does this too).<br>
<p>
BTW any other recommendations for a scanner in this class?<br>
<p>
thanks,<br>
