2004-08-23 Thread James A. Littlefield
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion regarding Xsane vs xscanimage. I have confirmed that xsane does not have a problem w/ cancelling scan so I guess this points to an issue w/ xscanimage rather than w/ the DS3000 - chinon backend. Since you mentioned that this is an old problem I am assuming tha
