[sane-devel] Epson scaner/epkowa, SANE and 16 bit scaning

[mmm]

Hi,

I am using Epson v500 scaner with epkowa driver.
iscan 2.27.1-4
iscan-data 1.11.0-1iscan-plugin-gt-x770 2.1.1-1
Driver is working. I am able to scan with XSane/Sane, iscan or Vuescan.
Vuescan scans images with 8 and 16 bit depth. But whenever I choose 16
bit depth on "epkowa config panel" in XSane/iscan program is crashing.
I try check logs - but can't find nothing interesting.
I've found some old posts
at:http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2008-June/022224.htmlwhich
describing some problems with 16 bit depth on some Epson scaner.
Can somebody confirm that it still doesn't work? Or maybe somebody
using it without problems. I need feedback.
I'd like to use Negfix script:https://sites.google.com/site/negfix/so
I don't need most features of Vuescan and its Pro license (for "raw
scaning").
