I got the same problem with skewed scans using libsane-perl when running gscan2pdf directly from source. I couldn't use scanimage with my scanner "Fujitsu fi-4120C2" because the scanner wasn't found. I found a solution to add the scanner to scanimage:
Create the file "40-libsane.rules", put in the text below, restarted the scanner. $ sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5, product=0x10ae) at libusb:001:005 $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules ATTRS{idVendor}=="04c5", ATTRS{idProduct}=="10ae", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" $ scanimage -L device `fujitsu:fi-4120C2dj:28848' is a FUJITSU fi-4120C2dj scanner Anyway, to troubleshoot libsane-perl a little more, I got the skewed scans using a modified perl-source for gscan2pdf v1.7.1. If I run a compiled version of gscan2pdf the scans works without skew. If I run the original perl-source for gscan2pdf v1.7.1 it works without skew, so obviously it was my modifications in the source that caused the skewing. After troubleshooting I find this line in the source causing the skewing: use Encode::Escape qw(); I removed it and now the scanning with libsane-perl works again without skewing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358970 Title: gscan2pdf distorts image with scanimage.pl frontend, but works with scanadf frontend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gscan2pdf/+bug/358970/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
