When I sun scanimage > out.pnm it appears to work at first then issues the following screen output Missed a bink: got 3 [0xFF (255) 11111111], wanted 1, waited 700 msec Missed a bink: got 3 [0xFF (255) 11111111], wanted 0, waited 700 msec Missed a bink: got 3 [0xFF (255) 11111111], wanted 0, waited 700 msec I leave it a while longer (minutes) then I couldn't resist lifting the lid (I know I shouldn't) and see that the lamp is stationary about 1 inch from the home position. When I break out of the scan (using CTRL-C) I get the following output scanimage: stopping scanner...(sig 2) scanimage: sane_read: Operation was cancelled I can then reset the scanner by issuing a scanimage --test command. the output file out.pnm is 9709605 bytes long! I'm afraid I have no where to 'publish' it on the web, so write to me separately if you want me to send it to you. When I try to load it in gimp I get 'premature end of file'. I have just tried scanning as root using gim (and again using xscanimage on it's own) which obviously invokes xscanimage. I have noticed that the Geometry is set as follows; Top-left x 0cm Top-left y 0cm Bottom-right x 21.7cm Bottom-right y 29.6cm It appears to make no difference whether I'm root, local, or remote, nor which device I choose to use (net:linux, net:localhost, or mustek:1200CP). The page I'm scanning has a actual left-hand margin of 2.9cms, however xscanimage reports this as 5.1cms (i.e. the first text appears at the grid mark equivalent to 5.1cms). The furthest I get to the right-hand side of the page is approximately 11.5cms (of actual paper, including the left-hand margin), and yet xscanimage reports this as 21.7cms (according to the grid at the top of the page). In reality I'm missing the last 9-10cms of my page (horizontally). The top and bottom margins are correct! Here's the output from the above command run as a normal user (i.e. me) [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of mustek_pp to 128.
