I got all the right sane packages installed. I got both Gnome and KDE installed and i'm runing Gnome right know. My problem is this: when i used to scan an image on a Windows machine I had real crappy scanning software (if you installed in english, you got a spanish version...) but when i scanned an image and printed it, it came out with exactly the same dimensions. Now when I scan at a resolution of 600 i get a huge image, so it seems Kooka as well as Xsane handle this matter differently. I use Kover to scale the images in such a way it fits a jewel case. Am i missing a point here? Marco -- "Tell me about these oppressed masses. What's got them so worked up ?"
