Hello,

Thanks a lot for sane-1.0.10-pre3, and for the plustek driver (I'm using=20
plustek-sane-0.45-3). With those my USB CanoScan Lide 30 works perfectly.

Two questions:
* why isn't plustek-sane part of sane? Wouldn't this make things much easie=
r=20
for all owners of a canon (and other) scanner?
* the only bug I'm seeing is that if I scan in a random resolution, say 400=
=20
DPI, (as allowed by xsane with its resolution slider), then half of the=20
scanned image will be covered by black lines. It works fine in 300 DPI, (bu=
t=20
the unaware user will have a hard time figuring out the right resolution=20
value to use, since there's a step of 1 in xsane :))

(I think it's also time to close down the ucanoscan project on sourceforge,
if anyone of that project is listening - it's very confusing to first find=
=20
this stuff, which is in very alpha state, to only later find out that the=20
plustek driver handles Canon scanners just fine... But well if becomes part=
=20
of sane out of the box, then people won't have to worry about that.)
