Hi I have a Lexmark X1130 AIO scanner-printer and Im glad to see there is a backend for this device. Ive tested it and the results are not so bad as the opinions in the sane page suggest.
It needs some work with colors (maybe there is some way of calibrating it in Linux) and a couple of minor issues, but the average impression is quite good. Ive prepared a page with my tests for your information. You can find it at http://butterbrot.googlepages.com/lexmarkscanner I hope it will be useful for someone. I intend to improve it with more documentation in the future. Thanks a lot for your great work!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Plustek claims to even have patented this "invention"... best, Jens Felix E.
