I got and posted this Epson 1640SU ADF problem with Sane 1.0.14 on Suse Linux 9.1 and on SJDS2/Linux. Another user replied later that also Sane 1.013 on Suse Linux didn't work. However, stepping back to Sane 1.08 did work on Suse. I did the same and 1.08 worked for both Suse 9.1 and SJDS/Linux. Karl Heinz should compare Sane 1.014 vs 1.08 to try to debug the problem. I haven't heard more about this ;-) maybe now as this is a problem for more of us? http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2004-August/011733.html http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2004-September/012094.html Regards, Terje J.
