Re: Sane Scanner Resolution Configuration

[Mike Flannigan]

My XSane ver 0.999 allows changing the resolution
by selecting the dropdown on the main screen and
selecting 75, 150, 300, 600, etc.

Thanks Mike, that's interesting, my Xsane ver 0.999 doesn't provide the 
same functionality. Where your gui has the resolution dropdown to let 
you select between the supported resolutions, my gui has two entries, a 
horizontal resolution and a vertical resolution, and both of them are 
disabled, so that the only way to change it is to manually changed the 
corresponding two lines in the configuration file. I'm now wondering 
whether the Epson driver is having an impact, as in order to see and use 
the Epson scanner xsane seems to be using the settings I put in the 
config file created by the install of Epson's imagescan software.
Are you able to supply the config file, or the resolution part of the 
config file, for your scanner, which if it is stored in the same 
location as it is for me, is in ~/.sane/xsane? I just wanted to see how 
it is set up for you and whether or not I can replicate that in my 
configuration.

regards,
Steve
