doing test scans I also found out that the scanned area is not
evenly lit. This adds to the disappointment with the scanner. Perhaps
I'm expecting too much from a 100 EUR scanner.

In fact
that was the reason for me to buy it.
Perhaps you have access to an Epson Perfection 3490 Photo or a scanner
from the same series (it's the series that just went out of production)?
It would be great if you could try scanning to the edge and let us know
your experiences. I doubt that it works.

had this problem, then close to nobody would buy it. But with scanners
people seem to be less picky, as long as they're "good" at scanning
photos.

I'm annoyed however, that this step is necessary. Why didn't Epson make
the visible glass plate simply a bit smaller?

Thanks, Theodore, for your detailed suggestions! However, for the time
being, I'll stick with Slackware 10.2 and with Hotplug for Sane.

It does: after setting up Hotplug support, the scanner works as ordinary

I make the scanner accessible to ordinary users? Why does sane access a

Hi,
I am looking for a scanner that runs under LINUX and has the following
features:
1. Support for scanning of slides and photo negatives in medium format
(6x6 cm^2).
2. High speed scanning of A4 black and white (only 1 bit, not gray scale)
pages (eg. from books).
3. Low price (of course
