different issue. dont use scanadf to scan from a flatbed, unless you
are going to add the -s 1 -e 1 options. there was a subsequent mail
about that.

just go with what is in cvs HEAD now, 1.0.50. it should support your
scanner out of the box. i am not convinced that i ever got the
pixel-shifting problem solved, however. that would manifest as weird
stair-stepping patterns in the output but only at certain scan widths.

if you see that problem, we just need to set a flag in the code for
that model to fix it.

it has become a fairly time consuming hobby, yes. but i take great
pride in helping folks wrest control of their machines away from
proprietary software.
