Hello list,

I own a HP Scanjet 5370C and want to use it with Linux. The scanner is
recognized by SANE and scanning works, but the resulting images have two
problems:
- they are "slanted" (i.e. vertical lines show up as diagonal lines in
the scan result),
- the scanned immage contains color artifacts showing up as regularly
repeating vertical stripes.

A typical scan together with the debugging output can be found here:

(The scanner works perfectly with the "vuescan" product.)

According to some messages on this list, there are other users who have
the same problems with this scanner, so I'm wondering whether there are
users which have a HP 53xxC which works with SANE without these problems.

Thanks in advance for help,
	Christian
