[sane-devel] Simplified installation procedure for Redhat Fedora Linux 1.0 and Epson 1670 scanner, also a report of a bug?

[Jeff Silverman]

People,

    I bought an Epson perfection 1670 scanner.  I think that the 
installation procedure is too cumbersome, so I rewrote it specifically 
for the Epson 1670 and Fedora.  Please feel free to take a look at it, 
it is on my website:

    The problem also describes a problem: the registration of the colors 
breaks down at densities beyound 600 DPI.  Curiously, the problem is 
worse at 900 DPI than at 1200 DPI.  I have an example - to avoid 
flooding this list, I put the examples on the 
http://www.commercialventvac.com/~jeffs/epson1670andFedora.html page.

    The box the scanner came in says that the resolution can go to 
1600x3200 DPI but xsane doesn't seem to believe that.


Many thanks,


Jeff Silverman
