<font face="Verdana">Hi! I am new here & out of my depth, so
please excuse dumbness...<br>
<br>
I am using an Epson Perfection V200 scanner in Lubuntu 11.10 &
also in Ubuntu 10.04.<br>
<br>
Using Epson's Avasys iScan (2.28.1-3ltdl7 etc) then I get offered
a huge range of dpi's, all of which seem to work as far as I
checked.<br>
50/72/96/150/200/240/300/360/400/600/720/800/1200/1600/2400/3200/4800/6400/9600dpi...<br>
I mainly use this application, but it has some practical &
philosophical negatives so I would like to be able to use a
'proper' Linux app if possible.<br>
<br>
When I try to use XSane, then I get offered different X & Y
dpi's which mostly don't match:<br>
X=75/300/600/1200/2400/4800<br>
Y=100/200/300/400/600/800/1200/1800/2400/3600/4800/6600/9600<br>
This means I really only have 300/600/1200/2400/4800 as usable
values.<br>
I don't need a vast range of dpi's, but for everyday use I really
want a couple of values below 300, preferably 150 & 100.<br>
<br>
I also tried Simple Scan, which seemed like the perfect answer for
the rest of the family, but again have a major dpi problem.<br>
Simple Scan offers me a good-looking selection of
75/150/300/600/1200/2400dpi.<br>
But 75/150/300/600/1200 all result in scanning at 300dpi &
trying 2400 results in a memory error.<br>
<br>
I raised a bug for Simple Scan & Michael Nagel there is being
very helpful but it looks like the root cause is probably the odd
selection of dpi's coming out of Sane.<br>

<br>
So - my questions are: <br>
1. Is that weird set of X & Y dpi's what I should be seeing
for this scanner?<br>
2. Can I do anything to get other values - preferably with same X
& Y, particularly 75/100/150 ?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
