Harald-

You can switch the toolbox to use xsane (or other program) by using the
settings dialog under "Settings | Configure HP Device Manager...". I believe
the correct command line would be "xsane -d %DEVICE_URI%"

 thanks dave for your helpful information

yes, the workaround with scanimage and settings the y-value works.
xsane (0.99 latest version) works out of the box when doing the final scan
(21.31cm x 29.53cm), when doing the preview scan the default is also
false, but you can switch to format A4.

kooka which is invoked from hp-toolbox can't produce a correct scan.

I hope the libsane-hpaio backend can be improved to deliver the accurate
top-left y value.

The libsane-hpaio backend will determine the x/y geometry at runtime for
SCL scanners. I have a PS 2710 that reports the same 381mm for the
top-left y position. Looks like the all-in-ones based on this platform
do not report the scan length correctly.

You can correct this by setting your x/y scan area with scanimage
geometry commands (ie: -y 300). In xsane you can also set the page size
in the preview window. Either method will eliminate the extra padded
lines that results from the incorrect length.

Subject: [Hplip-help] anybody has knowledge about scan device
parameters?

It seems that nobody in the world make scans with an HP PSC
2610 on Linux.

The result of such a scan is still wrong, because you get
always an huge white area at the bottom. No wonder, when the
device parameters return false dimension of the scanner.

This is the output of "scanimage -h -d'DEVICE'" of my PSC 2610

..........
-l 0..215.9mm [0]
Top-left x position of scan area.
-t 0..381mm [0]
Top-left y position of scan area.
-x 0..215.9mm [215.9]
Width of scan-area.
-y 0..381mm [381]
Height of scan-area.
...........

381mm is not correct - the height is somewhat between
297-299mm (slightly larger than ISO
A4) - 381mm is the ADF height of most HP-Laserjets.

Has anybody an idea where I can change these settings?
Or does anybody knows which software is responsible for that
wrong information?
Does anybody know a place which I can input hardcoded values
for the height of scan-area?
Or basically, does anybody know if this parameters comes from
sane or from hplip?

best regards,
harald
