Ah, not a problem. Someone on eBay rounded down. It is 11.7x17 which
is just right.
Thanks for the pointer.

I have been perusing the various offerings in the A3 flatbed scanner niche as
a replacement for my painfully slow Mustek A3 1200Pro, which does not even
scan the entire 12x17 area, making it actually pretty useless for some
things.
I can hardly imagine a more experience crew than here on the topic

Have there been any further developments on the iX500 front? I bought one
recently, but I notice the last discussions on this scanner are from several
months ago.
What would be the current best procedure for getting it up and running with
Ubuntu 13.04 Raring? Are there any packages yet?

Okay, the actual build was a bit more involved that
you may have thought, but I got there eventually:
wget http://incoming.debian.org/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505-1.diff.gz
wget http://incoming.debian.org/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505-1.dsc
wget http://incoming.debian.org/sane-backends_1.0
I have had one of these collecting dust for almost two years, so this is
welcome news. There wouldn't be a hope in hell of running said patch
against Debian Etch libsane-1.0.18-5 would there?
