Hi, > Oliver : I've sent you a copy of the log and a screen shot of what > occurs.
it seems that the scanner somehow doesn't like the set_window command which is used to set the scanning area for previewing. Since normal scanning works I suspect that it's either the requested image size or the operation mode that causes problems. Please try to select a small scanning area in xsane and select "Preview" again, this should result in a preview of the selected area. If this works than it's most likely the default scan area that is not set correctly. If selecting a smaller preview area still doesn't work you can try to play around with the operation_mode setting. It is set up in snapscan-scsi.c, around line 837, in the variable named "source". Bits 6 and 7 are the most likely suspects. The current value for preview is 0x80, you can try if any of the other three values gives better results. /Oliver
