A new sep15 release of the UMAX Astra 1220U backend is now available: http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/index.php?UmaxAstra1220u
The changes have been made: - The scanner lamp is now turned off after each scan - The scan head is returned to the park position after each scan I have set up a new mailing list for discussions about the backend or about the Astra 1220U scanner. You may subscribe here: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/umax1220u-sane-devel That list is now the prefered place to send questions about the backend (rather than to me personally :) Thank you, Marcio Luis Teixeira
