[sane-devel] Weird vertical stripes on Microtek ScanMaker X12USL (sane-1.05)

[Michael Thomson]

Hi folks

I have two problems - hope somebody can help.

1)  Weird vertical stripes when scanning
    See http://www.emptynet.demon.co.uk/vertical_stripes.pnm

    I am delighted that my scanner is recognised by sane, but sadly the
    results of a scan are unusable due to the colour bands that are
    uniformly spread down the page.

    I assume that there is nothing I can do, but here's my setup in case
    somebody has any ideas:

    Macintosh G4/400 running Yellow Dog Linux 2.1 (2.4.10-something)
    xsane-0.77
    sane-backends-1.05
    sane-frontends-1.05

2)  When I downloaded the sane-frontends and sane-backends version 1.06,
    I tried to compile the backends first, and get the following error:

> make[1]: Entering directory `/home/michthom/sane-backends-1.0.6/tools'
> gcc -o umax_pp umax_pp.o ../backend/umax_pp_low.o ../sanei/libsanei.a

> make[1]: *** [umax_pp] Error 1
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/michthom/sane-backends-1.0.6/tools'
> make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

    I'm assuming that this has something to do with the bug report posted
    here:

> From: Michael Weber (michaelw@debian.org)
> Subject: Bug#114579: sane-backends_1.0.5-3(unstable): build failure on powerpc

    Is there any way to disable the umax backend build so I can see if the
    microtek2 backend in 1.06 fixes my problem?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
