Hi Rolf,

Thanks for the guidance. Build time is not an issue. So I built with all
the backends. I applied your patch, but just to be 100% sure, it removes
1200 and replaces it by 600?

I don't have any preference for any tool. xsane vs scanimage vs any other.
I just need one that works ;) I used scanimage because it was in the
frontend folder I just built and I was able to validate the version.

The following command worked very well:
scanimage --resolution 300 --format=jpeg > image.jpg

However trying to scan with 1200 fails:
jmspaggiari at t460s:~/backends$ ./frontend/scanimage --resolution 1200
--format=jpeg > image.jpg
scanimage: rounded value of resolution from 1200 to 600

And the output image is 600dpi.

When trying gscan2pdf, even if the printer is connected on the USB port, it
shows me 2 scans with IP address, so I'm not sure it's taking the one on
the USB port. Also, how can I make sure gscan2pdf is using the sane version
I just build and deployed and not the one in the system? :-/

Thanks,

JMS
