If you're scanning for 1:1 printing purposes, then there's some logic in scanning at the same resolution as the normal printing resolution of your printer. That should avoid any image scaling issues, gives you a resolution that should print well, and avoids pointlessly scanning at a resolution higher than you can print. But if you want to edit the file, then a higher resolution might be warranted. If you have a printer with a massively high resolution capability, do you normally print at that resolution? Usually that's reserved for *high* quality, rather than *normal* printing. 300 - 600 dpi has looked good on laser printers, for text printing, for many years. Higher resolution is mostly pointless, unless there's pictures on the page. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
