With the TMA slide adaptor on the Scanjet 4570c does not work properly when : scan source = TMA negatives --> [hp5590] Top X (0) + pixels X (4292) exceedes max X 169 xscanimage reports: Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument
In fact with the TMA adaptor in place even choosing: scan source = flatbed after you did a source=TMA causes the carriage to ram into the stop. You have to power cycle the scanner to be able to get a source=TMA to properly work. So avoid source=TMA, choosing source=flatbed even with the TMA adaptor plugged in will work fine. Evidently there is some problem with the source = TMA. source=flatbed line art, color, and gray = working resolution 100 to 2400 = working source=TMA negatives or TMA slide fails in all modes, ramming the carriage against the stop I will use VMware + wireshark again to monitor my WinXP virtual session and see what protocol is being exchanged when source = TMA. It maybe that I can fix the driver, but I suspect it will be more extensive changes. Let me look at what it takes to fix it. If it gets too involved I will submit the current patch with the caveat source=TMA fails, and work on fixing support for TMA later. -- Markham -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
