This seems to > be a frequently reported error message. That's the standard error message if no other error message is suited better. It basically means: "I can't handle one of the options/arguments you gave". If it happens when pressing the scan button, it usually means you either selected a combination of options that doesn't work or something is wrong with the geometry options. > [epson] get para 0x80f03b0 0x80f0a58 tlx 215.899994 tly 43.794632 brx > 215.899994 bry 297.179977 [mm] > [epson] set_scan_area: 0x80f03b0 850 172 0 997 > [epson] sane_start: set_scan_area failed: Invalid argument You are trying to scan an image with width == 0 (tlx==brx). Check the sliders for the geometry in XSane. Maybe you swapped the top left and bottom right edge of the image in the preview window? Bye, Henning
