[sane-devel] OT: scanimage output format

[Wolfgang Pichler]

this means it is impossible when i use png as output format - what about
jpeg ?

the client timeout is not the problem - its more a "user-timeout"
problem. I'd simple like that the user can see what actually gets
scanned.

Or does there anywhere exists an pnm implementation for mozilla ?
