Is something wrong with Sane under 8.1?
Reason I ask is because under SuSE 8.0 it seemed to produce pictures of a quality similar to what my wife's Windows XP running HP's software (I have an HP Scanjet 2200C) would produce. Under 8.1, though, the quality is terrible. Is there any reason anyone can think of as to what could be different? Worst come to worst I can fire my wife's laptop up to scan, but I'd prefer not to.

I scanned a document (got an image of it) just a night or two ago using SANE under 8.2 with a UMAX Astra 610s and it worked fine. On Saturday 02 November 2002 01:59, Preston Crawford wrote:

Worked for me too. Problem was the quality was WAY worse. Preston
Hi Folks, I too have seen poor quality in 8.1 and a Microtek Scanmaker X6EL. PeterB On Tuesday 05 November 2002 12:54 pm, Preston Crawford wrote:

Well, to clarify my post. My quality was fine on my UMAX. I scanned a sheet of ruled notebook paper and could see the blue and red lines fine as well as the handwriting that was on the paper. I just tried an image to verify and it look quite good to me. I usually scan straight into "The GIMP", but this time I used Kooka just to see if there was anything there either. I almost always save the images in PNG format also. But I did save one of these as a JPEG just to check. My system was running 8.0 and then an upgrade to 8.1. My scanner is "real" SCSI on a dedicated Adaptec 152x card. Could be a SANE driver issue I guess, but I don't think that it is SANE as a whole. Could be a software problem else where, or possibly a format conversion issue. I hope this helps shed some light on something. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account
