Hi, I got the lastest version (patch) of umax_pp working on the latest version of Sane and XSane; those, in turn, run on Red Hat 9 Linux. I'm using an Astra 2000P scanner. The umax_pp config file uses: port /dev/parport0. The BIOS is set for EPP (ECP is not available in my BIOS).
When I try to scan something at 300 DPI the scanner does a "four steps forward, one step back" dance. It takes a long time to complete the scan. If I scan at 150 DPI, the scanner does it all in one pass, without the "dance." If I dual boot into Win98 and use the scanner at 300 DPI, no dance. Does anyone know how to get my scanner to scan at 300 DPI quickly, in Linux -- like it does in Win98? Thanks for any suggestions! Joe Henley
