<EM>&gt; Hi Michael,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I think this is a problem in the intercation with the drivers.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Check if the lp.o module is loaded prior to the pt_drv module.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Try and change the loading order:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; First pt_drv, then lp.o.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I has been reported, that there are problems with connected
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; printers. but the speed problem is new to me.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I'll reactivate my old HP 500 color and check this next week...
</EM><BR>
<P>Hi Gerhard,
<BR>
I just recompiled the driver with debug enabled.
<BR>
The reason for this speed difference obviously is, that the
<BR>
port isn't detected as EPP if there's no printer connected to
<BR>
the scanner and therefore the SPP mode is used.
<BR>
I think this isn't a problem with the loading order of the modules,
<BR>
is this correct?
<BR>
(BTW if there is a printer, but switched off, you can't even load
<BR>
the pt_drv module)
<BR>
<P>-------------------------------------------------

2.G. Jaeger, Fre, 11 Aug 2000 :
<BR>
<EM>&gt;I introduced this to the backend some weeks ago and encountered
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;sometimes the same effects. I think this behaviour should be fixed.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;it makes me wonder that you are the first one to complain about this.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;I'll fix it, okay?
</EM><BR>
<P>That' s of course okay. On the other hand, it isn't a bug. I just have no
<BR>
idea what's the purpose of this feature? Do other backends implement
<BR>
this too?
<BR>
At least this feature seems to confuse the frontends somehow, what makes
<BR>
scanning a little awkward.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt;The other thing, with the inexact sizes is IMO a problem of using
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;different metrics. The backend uses cm or mm, then it'll be converted
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;to inch and finally to pixels and motor steps...
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;I'm not sure how to fix this. If you have special settings with extreme
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;problems, let me know and I can try to workaround or even fix it.
</EM><BR>
<P>No, no, I didn' mean lossy transformations; the problems I had were all related
<BR>
to this magically changing scan area.
<BR>
<P>Thanks a lot for your reply
<BR>
Michael
