I saw the discussion on scanning transparencies on Epson Perfection 1650 Photo.
I'm using RedHat 7.2, with a 2.4.17 kernel and modules usb-uhci.o with scanner.o and sane-1.0.7, xsane-0.84. Scanning negatives works fine up to 2400dpi which is the highest setting I see on xsane-gimp. Actually, I believe this scanner can do 3200dpi and "48bit color"; are these features that the epson-sane driver does not yet support? Duncan duncan_haldane(AT)users.sourceforge.net
