I think this bug is related to/the same as SANE bug #303493: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=303493&group_id=30186&atid=410366 ([#303493] epson: Can't scan at 1200 dpi on a system with 768 Mb RAM)
That bug report has a patch proposed by Dmitry Artamonow on the 21st September 2007. Could someone please patch Ubuntu's sane-backends source package - the upstream bug has now been open for 18 months with no sign of interest from the upstream devs. Thanks. -- xsane reports "Failed to start scanner: Out of memory" at 1200 dpi https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
