Lemme toss in a PS here that may be of interest, particularly for those users 
whose std page size is A4.  Since installing the epson iscan stuff, it is 
actually usable from xsane!  There are some scaling problems that cause a 
loss of the edges of a letter sheet being copied, but it does mostly work. 
The edges show in a 'view' but are clipped off if sent to the printer using 
either their driver which is stuck in A4 mode, or in the NX-400 cups driver. 
Test sheets to the NX-400 ppd are correctly borderless but are not 
overscanned.
