[sane-devel] scanimage cannot see Umax Astra 2100S scanner.

[Oliver Rauch]

Hello Russ,

may be your scanner is a relabled Astra 2200S
(UMAX seems to mix the motherboards of some scanners
in the last time). In this case the following may help:

Disbale the option "quality calibration" in the
standard-options window of xsane or
for scanimage use --quality-cal=no
