I think i had the same problem on the Perfection 610. Wrote a patch solving the problem for me :
Fix epson2 driver problem with color shuffling using an Epson Perfection 610 Using xsane to aquire an preview-scan over the full plane in color mode fails. If you aquire an preview in bw/grayscale-Mode or over a part of the plain works well. The extra lines added dont fit in the scan-plane. The scanner fails to start with an invalid argument. This is a port of the corresponding check in the epson driver: No color shuffling if not enough space on the plane. diff -r 99d490b6ca08 -r d0e710afdc03 backend/epson2-ops.c --- a/backend/epson2-ops.c Tue Jun 19 23:58:44 2012 +0000 +++ b/backend/epson2-ops.c Wed Jun 20 23:24:57 2012 +0200 @@ -1212,6 +1212,15 @@ unsigned int lines = s->params.lines + (2 * s->line_distance); int top = s->top - (1 * s->line_distance); + /* + * If (top + s->params.lines) is larger than the max scan area, reset + * the number of scan lines: + */ + if (SANE_UNFIX (s->val[OPT_BR_Y].w) / 25.4 *s-> val[OPT_RESOLUTION].w < ( lines + top)){ + top=s->top; + lines=s->params.lines; + } + if (top < 0) top = 0; -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
