This doesn't match up very well with my actual experience of using the<br>
scanner. I suppose it's possible (but unlikely) that it is broken...<br>
<p>
Here are some example results (happily scanned with the new XSane release)<br>
they are all for _exactly the same physical scan area_<br>
<p>
400 dpi color scan --&gt; 364 x 374 image<br>
600 dpi color scan --&gt; 546 x 560 image<br>
800 dpi color scan --&gt; 728 x 747 image<br>
900 dpi color scan --&gt; 720 x 740 image (!)<br>
1600 dpi color scan --&gt; 728 x 747 image (!)<br>
<p>
I don't particularly care whether the scanner has an optical resolution of<br>
400 dpi, 800 dpi or even 1600 dpi for that matter. But I do know that the<br>
SANE backend never gives me more 728 x 747 (which is 800 dpi exactly)<br>
no matter how high a resolution I choose from scanimage or XSane.<br>
<p>
I've just tested in Windows, and there I can do a 1600dpi scan but as you<br>
say, this is interpolated data, and by 1600dpi it's becoming rather too<br>
obvious that most of the data is a fairy tale (15 made up pixels for each<br>
one read by hardware I guess).<br>
<p>
So, I suppose I'd like (1) An HP backend fix if applicable, and (2) Some<br>
future SANE standard to include Optical Resolution where known, so that I<br>
don't waste my SCSI bandwidth on interpolated data :)<br>
<p>
If this problem can't be diagnosed remotely, I'll look at it on Sunday.<br>
<p>
Nick.<br>
