I have a UMAX Astra 1220S scanner connected to a BusLogic SCSI card that I've used with SANE for years, but recently (possibly after a software upgrade) it has been giving me headache & trouble, and I have just about lost my wits.
I am suddenly unable to scan images at higher resolutions. Without specifying the resolution, the scanner works flawlessly ... at the default of 100 dpi. But when the resolution is specified with "--resolution" just as I've always done it, and I give any value greater than about 150, the scanner will begin to scan (and produce output) but then exit almost immediately, and only a tiny portion of the specified area is actually scanned. Typescript follows ... assistance is greatly appreciated.
