Hi all, Unfortunately it is too late for SANE-1.0.7, but Version 20020131 of the microtek2 backend is available on my homepage http://home.t-online.de/home/karsten.festag It should now support the X12USL via SCSI, the vertical stripes problem is reported to be solved. Thanks to all who contributed to this, especially Alexandre Averianov and Carl Kreider! Regards, Karsten
