Hello, I'm using an Epson Perfection 1250 with xsane-0.996/libsane 1.0.20-9. I'm having a few issues with it, even though it is listed as fully supported.
First, acquiring a preview can take several minutes. I'll click "acquire preview" then I'll hear a click noise, and then after a few minutes or so it will begin scanning the preview. The same is true for taking the actual scan. Second, I often get output that looks like this: http://jhstuckey.com/book-error.jpeg Sometimes the output is fine, sometime it looks like the above picture, or slighly different. It's consistent in that it's always tinted some color or another, though it isn't always purple -- sometimes it's half-yellow tinted. Sinerely, Stuckey
