<i> &gt;Hi. This is not *directly* related to SANE, but could somebody advise</i><br>
<i> &gt;me what format I should use to scan images so that I could print them</i><br>
<i> &gt;out in their original size?</i><br>
<i> &gt;</i><br>
<i> &gt;I've been using xsane as a plugin for Gimp, or I would scan something</i><br>
<i> &gt;into a jpeg file, at resolution of 400. All my consequtive attempts to</i><br>
<i> &gt;print out such image would result in either a scaled-to-fit-page-width</i><br>
<i> &gt;one, or in a magnified segment of an image.</i><br>
<p>
If you are printing via the Gimp, just tell the Gimp to print at the<br>
same resolution which you scanned:<br>
<p>
File -&gt; Print to get the Print dialog/plugin. It has a "Scaling"<br>
option, and you can select "Percent" or "PPI". Select "PPI", and<br>
type in "400". The default is 100%.<br>
<p>
I recall the version I have at home has some subtle bug that I always<br>
have to select Percent, then reselect PPI and retype the resolution,<br>
or it doesn't quite register the right number.<br>
<p>
(This is all for version 2.0.2 "16 May 1998" of the Print plugin.<br>
That's what it says at the top.)<br>
