I have had sane 1.0.4 installed and have only been able to scan gray mode. Color only gives a IO problem. Mandrakes cooker now has version 1.0.5 of the sane RPM's as well as version 0.78 of xsane. However, once I have removed the old software and re-installed with the lastest version, scanimage -V still reports 1.0.4. Is there a simple explanation? Also, after doing a scanimage -T, the prompt does not return and the scanner light stays on for about ten minutes at which point the prompt returns. Color test completes but does not return prompt either. Previous version at least finished gray test? Sorry for any bad english, my 18 month old daughter is helping me type this email. Cheers, Dave.
