Just got Mandrake 9.1 which includes support for my Canon N656U scanner (sane v.1.0.11) This is the first time I've had this scanner working at all in Linux. Initial tests have revealed very poor image quality, however. Virtical streaks appear through the image which are not on the original. Ive tried this at several standard and non-standard resolutions with similar results in each test. Below is a URL to one of my test scans done at 150DPI http://brainslide.com/scantest2.jpg
Please advise. I'm quite open to the possibility that I'm just doing something wrong, as this is my first experience with Sane. The above image was scanned with all the settings as default (except resolution). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At night I dream of a world where Windows doesn't suck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
