That is confirmed, doing scanimage -b gives nearly endless amount of output test files.
I am on Macosx Lion with latest ellert Sane apps and driver However the settings I put in test.conf seem not to stick, when I see the scanner selection come up, I still see grey and not the color setting I specified in the test.conf Also the test image does not change to color after changing in test.conf to color image. In Apple Image Capture I see the test device not show up. However using scanimage -d test:0 > test.pnm shows me the settings are ok, it seems just the frontent when I interface with morena sane/twain does not stick. This is in accord on what I see here: Wolfgangs-MacBook-Pro:~ wolfgang$ SANE_DEBUG_TEST=255 scanimage > test.pnm [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of test to 255.
