Michael, From your description it sounds like the scanner is failing to find home and is going too far past the home position. If you get a chance perhaps you could try a small scan with debugging turned on and send me the logfile. Here is an example of how to create a logfile using xsane: - If your shell is a korn shell, or bash shell type "export SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK=20" - If your shell is C shell, or tcsh shell type "setenv SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK 20" - From the same shell type "xsane 2> xsane_log" - Try doing a scan and quit. Send me the xsane_log file.
If you are using a different frontend replace "xsane" with that frontend's name. regards, Fred O. MIchael Mueller wrote: > HI, > Just compiled and installed the Sane Backend 1.0.17.
