[sane-devel] iscan and apt dependencies

2009-01-24 Thread Paul Fox
't install or upgrade anything else because apt thinks iscan is broken, and keeps insisting on trying to remove it when it performs any other action. any ideas on how to work around this? paul =- paul fox, pgf at foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 29.8 degrees)

"looked at"? i don't believe that's true. that implies there's some sort of unpublished trade secret in play. copyright applies to expression, not concept. paul =- paul fox, pgf at foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 25.3 degrees)

[sane-devel] which OS for photo scanning with V500?

2009-05-02 Thread Paul Fox
s made using sane vs. using windows software from epson? bear in mind that i'm not a practiced gimp user at all, so if the linux vs. windows results will be comparable, but easier for a scanning neophyte to attain under windows, i may go that route in any case... thanks, paul
