Package: xsane
Version: 0.998-6+b1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Just upgraded to jessie and had problems
with xsane "copy" mode.  I found the following:

Checking the checkbox for:
"Create zlib compressed postscript
image (PS level 3) for printing"
in the "Copy" settings does not
seem to result in a compressed file.

Perhaps I'm just not understanding what
is supposed to be produced.

I tested by creating a script that
does "cat - > /tmp/foo" and using my
script as a print command.  The resulting
file begins with the lines:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: XSane version 0.996 (sane 1.0) - by Oliver Rauch

These are clearly not zlib compressed.

See also Bug#799027.
