Package: sane Version: 1.0.14-2 Severity: normal
Hello, This report is written with regard to the HP ScanJet 7400C scanner (avision driver). When scanning with 'scanimage', it seems that the first scan of the day always sends the head (the moving part) too far, until it collides with the plastic frame at the "bottom". I tried uncommenting the line option force-a4 in /etc/sane.d/avision.conf but the result is the same. Interestingly, after the first failure, shutting down the scanner and powering it again, subsequent scans are OK. There is also a vertical band of approximately 1cm that is not really scanned; it's weird: bright colors appear, but white patches look like they didn't exist. This problem is independent from the first, it shows on all scans. I happen to have a (fully paid) commercial version of the program "Vuescan" made especially for Linux; none of the two problems mentionned above appear with this software. I would really prefer to use scanimage of course, not least for the scripting capabilities and the better rendering... Scanimage worked great with my old ScanJet 6300C. Best, Sébastien. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-486 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages sane depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.4-3 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libgimp2.0 2.2.13-1etch4 Libraries necessary to Run the GIM ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libieee1284-3 0.2.10-4 cross-platform library for paralle ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsane 1.0.18-5 API library for scanners ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-5 userspace USB programming library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra sane recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
