plustek + hp2200c works ok for random resolutions for me. Is it a function 
of how much is scanned or how much data needs to be transfered ? I only 
scanned postcard-sized areas.

has trouble controlling lamp though. some previews come out solid black 
because xsane doesn't turn the lamp on, and often leaves the bulb on after 
xsane is closed.
