I have a Canon n656u scanner which works fine on my Windows Box. However, I don't like using my Windows box (for obvious reasons) but all attempts to get this scanner working properly under Linux (Mandrake 9.1) have produced unsatisfactory results. I've just upgraded to the latest sane backends and produced the following images:

Scanning these same images with this same scanner in Windows produces perfect images. The Sane homepage lists this scanner as "Complete". Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an easy fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At night I dream of a world where Windows doesn't suck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
