Hi, my hack "merlin670" already scans at 150 dpi color: http://home.t-online.de/home/gunther.mayer/merlin-V0.01.c This is an early release for developers, no fancy features! You must even twiddle to get it compiled. See comments in the source. This is - based on libusb (no kernel module scanner.o needed). - standalone wrt SANE Regards, Gunther
