What does happen with brightness=0, contrast=0 and gamma=0 ? (The
normal defaults) ...

Yes. It is as light as I expect it with these settings ...

Hm? What does happen when you change the resolution?

Yes. Well - if either HP or Avision would send some new specs over (I
ask since two years now ...) the new scanners would have been working
perfectly. But currently I have to hand-tune the code (by interpreting
a windows USB-snoop) for each new scanner.

Most people on the list might not be happy to get images. However feel
free to send my ohter examples scans to my private address.

Also A windows log using USB-snoop from sourceforge might help.
