Just a quick note to the list. I ran iscan by itself tonight and saw the choice of printer, which was defaulted to run lpr. And lpr defaults to lp0 which is a 360dpi setting for my Epson Photo 820.
Forgetting that detail, I fired off a 720 dpi scan to the printer. That took a while as thats over 100 megs of data. When the scan was done, the printer fired up and proceeded to spit out a page at its 360 dpi rate, eg pretty fast. But the first page was mostly blank, looking as if there was a faint pattern of paper texture under a magnifying glass, lint could be seen etc. By now, everyone has figured out that the miss-match was gonna blow it up, but it blew it up to 6 pages high by 5 pages wide, one heckofaway to get a super enlargement in case anyone wants to paste up some yard sale signs or whatever. However, in my case, cups to the rescue by canceling the job on about sheet 8. I didn't really need a 30 page rendition of the cups printer test sheet... Once I'd fixed the link (the README is wrong) it also integrates nicely with the gimp. However, there appears to be no sizeing controls in the preview window, a very handy thing xsane does have. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.04% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
