[sane-devel] xsane 0.84, Epson 1650 Photo, Mandrake 8.2

[STEPHEN CONSTANTINOU]

Dear Group

For the last 18 months I have been trying to make the 
transition to Linux.  I purchased an Epson C80 printer
and the 1650 Photo scanner as these were documented as 
supported by Sane.  And so they are.

I have no difficulty scanning images, saving them etc.

For the first time I have tried to use OCR but have run 
into a problem.
I have acquired a preview, then selected the area of 
text I want to scan in.  Next I moved to the scanner 
window and pressed Start.  The image is scanned in and 
a new window called Viewer appears with the text in it.
I clicked on the second button “ABCDEF” and the file 
dialogue window appeared offering the name/path of “/home/stephanos/out.txt” in which to save the text.  
I pressed OK.

However after pressing OK nothing happened.  The file 
is not created and no further activity takes place.

I was at least expecting that the words that were not 
recognised would be flagged up.

Any help appreciated
