[sane-devel] Microtek SlimScan C3, output always a black image

[Jose Sanchez]

Hi Karsten,

Thanks a lot, I downloaded the sources files from suse change the files 
you told me, reinstall everything and it worked out.  However, the image 
is with some vertical lines I don't know why but it doesn't output that 
annoying black image.  Thanks for your time and I really appreciate your 
work.

Sincerely,

Jose
