[sane-devel] Out of Memory Error

Recently did a clean install of Mint20

I installed XSane, it scanned for devices and found my scanner, Brother 
DCP-J7720W which is wireless connected, and I scanned my document.  It 
appeared to scan but the viewer screen shows nothing and if I try to 
save the file I get
"Error during save: out of memory"

Memory really should not be a problem, 16GB RAM showing 30% used, 100GB 
free on disk.

Other information

Document Scanner works and I can save the file.

Installed gscan2pdf, when I scan I get an error "gscan2pdf: sane_start: 
Invalid argument"

mick at Mint20Desk:~$ scanimage -L
device `escl:http://192.168.1.94:80' is a ESCL Brother DCP-J772DW 
flatbed scanner
mick at Mint20Desk:~$ scanimage -T
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.

mick at Mint20Desk:~$ scanimage > image.pnm

So it looks to me like sane_start is the problem, but I don't know what 
to do about it.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Mick
